As the Ukrainian crisis continue to heat up the polity in Europe and their US NATO allies, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk has stated that he won’t be blocking Russian news channels through Starlink.

While making his stance on the freedom of speech, the billionaire tech lord stated that –

“Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources. We will not do so unless at gunpoint.” Continuing, he said,
“Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.”
