Elon Musk will not block Russian media in Starlink. Billionaire calls for immediate increase in oil and gas production

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, has said he has no intention of blocking Russian news sources that are available via the Starlink satellite internet network.

Some countries (but not Ukraine) demanded to block Russian news sources in Starlink. We won’t do it, except at gunpoint. Excuse me for being an absolutist of free speech.

In addition, he warned that the company’s plans are changing: “SpaceX has refocused on cyber defense and overcoming signal interference. Will cause minor delays in Starship and Starlink V2.”

The billionaire added that in the current realities, he will have to abandon the “green” direction:

I hate to say it, but we need to immediately increase oil and gas production. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Obviously, this will negatively impact Tesla, but sustainable energy solutions simply can’t react instantly to offset Russia’s oil and gas exports.
