Tech Billionaire and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Saturday (5 March) said that Starlink, the SpaceX backed satellite internet service, has refused to comply with requests from "some governments" to block access to Russian news sources.

Musk, who is also the CEO of electric carmaker Tesla, took to Twitter to make it clear that Starlink would not block Russian news sources "unless at gunpoint".


"Sorry to be a free speech absolutist," he added.


The remarks by Musk comes amid social media platforms banning Russian News outlets including RT and Sputnik over their coverage of the Ukraine crisis.
