There was a call between President-elect Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky on November 6. Elon Musk was apparently also on that call, and gave assurances that Starlink would continue to be available to Ukraine. This has caused something of a furor among certain layers of the US establishment, with the New Republic expressing concern over the influence of this “businessman” on official policy. It is no doubt also a matter of concern for the military-industrial complex, who have already been unnerved by the victory of an “anti-war” candidate to the presidency.
