     I hate Musk as well but I don’t think you can call SpaceX a vanity project. It’s the #1 launch provider in the world and they do it cheaper than anyone else with the highest reliability. Starlink is also starting to make a good amount of revenue. Last year starlink provided 4.3 billion to the company up 66% YoY. Thats pretty good.

     It seems that SpaceX has started restricting usage over Ukraine, likely due to a request from Trump's administration. Russia can cut off water and power to Kyiv and they get rewarded, Ukraine defend themselves and get punished. The US is not a reliable partner for Europe.
