Elon Musk has denied reports that the United States threatened to shut off Starlink in Ukraine unless Kyiv agreed to a minerals deal. Musk called the claim false and accused the news agency of lying.
The claim alleged that the US would cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink if Kyiv didn’t agree to a critical minerals deal. Ukraine aims to conclude an agreement with the US for its natural resources, with negotiations ongoing after President Zelensky refused an initial proposal.
