Tesla CEO Elon Musk answers the warning of the head of Russia's space agency that threatened him for his ambitions to give internet connection to Ukraine

The 50 year-old multi-billionaire has been beaming internet connections to dishes all around the world using Starlink, a constellation of 2,000 satellites in low Earth orbit.

The service has a huge presence in Ukraine, where it was launched with the sole goal of keeping the country connected during Russia's continuing invasion.

Back in April, the billionaire said they had resisted Russian hacking and jamming attempts' and was focussing SpaceX's efforts on countermeasures - at the cost of other projects.

Musk Shall Be Held Accountable

Musk tweeted information supplied to Russian media by Dmitry Rogozin, the chairman of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, on Sunday night. Rogozin directly remarked on Telegram.

Musk is accused by Rogozin of supplying Starlink equipment to the so-called "Nazi Azov Battalion" as well as Ukrainian military groups.

Musk's post appears to be in response to a perceived Russian threat stemming from his intention to bring a SpaceX-run satellite internet service to Ukraine.

Musk's move seemed to irritate Rogozin, who reportedly told Russian official media that Musk "shall be held accountable" like an adult, as per a report from News.com.

The Russian official claimed that Starlink equipment "was carried out by the Pentagon."

"Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment. And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult - no matter how much you'll play the fool," Rogozin said.

The billionaire answered back, as he often does, in an ironic manner.

"The word 'Nazi' doesn't mean what he seems to think it does," Musk tweeted, and added, "If I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowin' ya."

Many Musks followers reacted to his message, as per a report from Daily Mail, taking it as a cryptic warning. Among them is his mother Maye Musk.

"That's not funny," Musk's mother tweeted, adding a few angry emojis

But Elon Musk replied, "Sorry! I will do my best to stay alive."

Space X Benefits Thousands Of Ukrainian Amid Russian Invasion

With over 10,000 dish antennas in service and more on the way, the SpaceX-run satellite internet service that CEO Elon Musk promised at the start of the war has emerged as a lifeline for many sections of the nation.

Dmytro Zinchuk, the chief of network operations for Freenet, which primarily covers the Kyiv region as well as western and northern Ukraine, described the service as "not an ideal internet."

He said that Starlink serves "more than a lifeline" for people who have had no internet service for weeks.

Zinchuk said his company has so far integrated five government-donated Starlink terminals in its furious energy to get as many customers back online as possible in areas that faced heavy Russian bombardment. Per NBC News, that can mean wiring hundreds of people to a terminal meant for a single household.

A 23-inch-wide receiver dish that must be put outdoors, as well as a cord that connects to a modest router that projects a Wi-Fi internet signal, are included in most of the basic Starlink kits dispatched to Ukraine.
