“Shut up, little man”: Musk and Rubio sharply respond to Sikorsky about Starlink for Ukraine

Marco Rubio and Elon Musk decided not to mince words in response to Radoslaw Sikorski’s statement.

No one in the United States has threatened to disconnect Ukraine from Starlink during a full-scale war, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted.

“Just fiction. No one threatened to disconnect Ukraine from Starlink. And say thank you, because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost this war long ago, and the Russians would already be standing on the border with Poland,” he noted on the social network X (Twitter) .

Rubio made the statement in response to Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who promised to terminate his contract with Starlink if billionaire Elon Musk cuts off satellite communications for Ukraine.

Musk himself soon responded to Sikorsky.

“Shut up, little man. You’re paying a tiny fraction of the cost. And there’s no replacement for Starlink,” he wrote on X (Twitter) .
