Ukraine paid him for the terminals, and he charged more than the usual rate for them. He tried to claim the cost to run them was thousands of dollars a month when others can buy access for hundreds of dollars a month. Because of the the US moved in to pay. At no point was Starlink working for free except on Elon's Twitter profile when he was pretending to be magnanimous in the early stages of the war.

>The U.S. military has weighed in recently as well. Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the DoD press secretary, confirmed on Tuesday that the Pentagon hasn't paid SpaceX any money for Starlink services in Ukraine to date, Space News reported (opens in new tab).
