"Shut up, little man," Tusk reacts after Elon Musk's insults to
Musk, Sikorsky, Rubio

A heated debate erupted on Platform X between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, tech billionaire Elon Musk and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski over the use of Musk's Starlink satellite system in Ukraine.

The controversy began after a post by Musk, where he suggested the possibility of turning off the Starlink system that provides high-speed internet services in war zones.

Sikorski commented, emphasizing that a possible ban on this service would force Ukraine to look for other suppliers, adding that Poland has invested half the amount for 42,000 Starlink terminals, which are worth $50 million per year.

Sikorski warned that if SpaceX, Musk's company, became an unreliable provider, Poland would be forced to look for other options.

This prompted a strong backlash from Rubio, who refused to accept the idea that Musk could turn off the system, telling Sikorsky to be grateful for the service.

"No one threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink. And say thank you because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost the war long ago and the Russians would now be on the border of Poland," Rubio wrote.

Meanwhile, in a later post, Musk denied that his company would cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink.

"As much as I disagree with Ukraine's policy, Starlink will never close its terminals. What I'm saying is that without Starlink, the Ukrainian front would collapse as the Russians would block all other communications. We would not do this and would not use it as a bargaining chip," he wrote.

The controversy culminated with Musk calling Sikorsky a “little man,” responding harshly to his criticism. “Shut up, little man. You pay a small fraction of the cost. And there is no substitute for Starlink,” Musk wrote.

Reactions from Poland were also harsh, with the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party criticizing Minister Sikorski for his comments about the United States. Former Minister Michal Wojcik and former Deputy Minister Pawel Jablonski suggested that Sikorski remove his Twitter post, stressing that it could lead to the loss of American support for Poland.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk came to Sikorski's defense, praising the minister for "calmly explaining" Polish positions and criticizing the opposition for their overreaction.

Tusk wrote in X that: “True leadership means respect for partners and allies, including the smaller and weaker ones.”
