Musk said SpaceX's Starlink services have not received any funding from the U.S. Department of Defense, a day after reports said. The Pentagon is considering paying for the Starlink satellite network in war-torn Ukraine.
SpaceX is losing approximately $20 million a month from unpaid service and costs related to security measures for cyberwar defence, but "we'll keep doing it (sigh)", Musk tweeted.
