Musk vs. Sikorski: Starlink, Ukraine, and the Growing Power of Tech Giants

Tensions escalate between Elon Musk and Radosław Sikorski over Starlink's role in Ukraine. A recent public exchange on social media highlights the growing influence of tech giants in international politics. Musk, in a direct and dismissive tweet, criticized Poland's perceived insufficient payment for Starlink services. Sikorski responded with a pointed remark about the complexities of international politics. "You see, big man, politics is harder than you thought," Sikorski countered. The conflict underscores the increasing concerns about the control and impact of private companies on armed conflicts and governmental actions. The incident serves as a symbol of the growing power of tech giants in international relations and the inherent tensions between the public and private sectors in critical infrastructure management. The question remains: Who truly controls the critical infrastructure of the modern world?
