While the Russia-Ukraine war was going on, it was revealed that Elon Musk’s application of the Starlink project, which allows people to access satellite-based internet service, has become the most downloaded application in Ukraine.
SpaceX’s 50-year-old CEO, Elon Musk, has given Ukraine access to Starlink, the satellite-internet system consisting of about 2,000 satellites, in recent weeks. In fact, Musk sent Starlink terminals to the country so that people could access satellites and connect to the internet.

BIG INCREASE IN STARLINK
Figures show that Elon Musk’s Starlink app has been downloaded almost 100,000 times in Ukraine, and global download numbers have more than tripled in the past few weeks.
Sensor Tower, an organization that provides data from the App Store and Google Play, said Starlink was downloaded more than 21,000 times worldwide last Sunday.
The organization said it broke the record for most global uploads in a single day, with most of the downloads coming from Ukraine.
ELON MUSK WAS WARNED

HE CHALLENGE PUTIN IN ONE-ON-FIGHT
On the other hand, Elon Musk challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin in a tweet he sent recently and invited him to a one-on-one fight. Musk also said that he was absolutely serious in this offer. Also, “If he’s afraid to fight, I’ll only agree to use my left hand and I’m not even left handed.” he said.
Thank you for the offer, but such excellent training would give me too much of an advantage.
If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand and I am not even left-handed.
