Elon Musk Denies Doing Business With Russia
Elon Musk recently denied doing business with Russia, as reported by Al Jazeera. The billionaire clarified that he doesn't sell Starlink services to Russia.

"To the best of our knowledge, no Starlinks have been sold directly or indirectly to Russia," the billionaire added.
