Musk says no Starlink terminal sold to Russia

New Delhi: Tesla and SpeceX CEO Elon Musk on Monday said that no Starlink terminal has been sold directly or indirectly to Russia.

He responded to reports that claimed that Russian forces in occupied Ukraine are using Starlink terminals for satellite internet.

“A number of false news reports claim that SpaceX is selling Starlink terminals to Russia. This is categorically false,” Musk posted on X.

“To the best of our knowledge, no Starlinks have been sold directly or indirectly to Russia,” the billionaire added.

He also said that Starlink satellites will not close the link in Russia.

Starlink terminals are “geofenced” so they do not function in unauthorised locations.
