While Elon Musk likes to have fun by trolling game companies<\/a>, there are times when his work is the subject of controversy. A recent report states that Russia may be looking to fine citizens for using Starlink<\/strong> internet, which was set up by his space program SpaceX in 2018.<\/p>\n

As well as fining regular users, the Russian government may also be looking to punish companies that\u00a0use Starlink. While citizens can expect to be fined between 10,000 and 30,000 rubles (around $135-$405 US), businesses may have to pay up to one million rubles (just over $13,000 US). Elon Musk took to Twitter<\/a> earlier this month to express concerns about the news, insisting that he just wants help “get people to Mars.”<\/p>\n

Starlink is a satellite-based internet system that utilizes a series of satellites in low-orbit. Currently, there are 944 of them that have already been sent up (143 of which were launched last weekend) with the goal of having 42,000 satellites in total. The end result is to encase the earth in superfast internet for all citizens, a commodity which has become crucial and seen record-breaking use thanks in part to the Xbox Series X<\/a>, at least in the UK.<\/p>\n
