In late September, SpaceX turned on Starlink service to Iran during the massive protests. This also appears to be more good deeds from the multibillionaire.
It started in February
When Russia invaded in February, Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, pleaded with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk for help.
Within hours, Elon Musk posted that the Starlink satellite internet system was turned on. And that truckloads of cutting-edge terminals were on the way.
Musk made an ill-advised suggestion for peace terms. And said that Ukrainian leaders should negotiate a settlement to end the war. It included letting Russia keep Crimea.
The only outcome ist that now no Ukrainian will EVER buy your f…ing tesla crap. So good luck to you .@elonmusk

In response to his proposal a tweet quoting a Ukrainian diplomat, Andrij Melnyk told Musk to “f#ck off” and no Ukrainian would buy a Tesla. US-based entrepreneur Musk who also owns Tesla tweeted, a response “We’re just following his recommendation”.
