Billionaire Elon Musk said on Tuesday SpaceX’s Starlink services have not received any funding from the US Department of Defence, a day after reports said The Pentagon is considering paying for 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.

“No money from DoD, but several other countries, orgs & individuals are paying for ~11k/25k terminals,” Musk said.

Musk, the world’s richest person and chief executive of Tesla Inc, said SpaceX spends nearly $20 million a month for maintaining satellite services in Ukraine and that the company has spent about $80 million to enable and support and support Starlink there.
