Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk said Friday that SpaceX cannot “indefinitely” fund the Starlink internet service in Ukraine, after a report said his rocket company had asked the Pentagon to cover the costs of the service that have helped Ukrainian forces with battlefield communications.

Musk made the remarks in a post on Twitter as part of a thread that linked to a CNN report claiming that SpaceX had sent a letter to the Pentagon requesting it take over funding for Ukraine’s government and military use of Starlink.
