Billionaire entrepreneur and senior advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, criticized Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski for his remarks calling for the shutdown of Starlink, the satellite internet services provided to the Ukrainian military. Musk used the phrase “Be quiet, little man” in response to Sikorski’s comments. Musk, who provides Starlink satellite internet services to Ukraine, shared on his social media account, “My Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian military. If I shut it down, all the front lines will collapse.” Musk urged Ukraine to reconsider the war, claiming that they would “definitely lose.”

“BE QUIET, LITTLE MAN” In response to Musk’s post, Sikorski reminded that Poland pays approximately $50 million annually for the Starlink system used by Ukraine and stated, “If SpaceX turns out to be an unreliable supplier, we will have to look for other providers.” Musk, who reacted to Sikorski’s remarks, shared his view stating, “Be quiet, little man. You are paying a very small part of the cost. And there is nothing that can replace Starlink.”
