Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?

Given Musk's latest remarks, they need to implement an alternative yesterday. I fully expect Starlink to be cut on Monday.
He makes ambigious statements (I read the linke nitter link). Eutelsat OneWeb is available now. If it is robust against russian jamming needs to be seen.
Iris2 won't be available before end 2030s or so. But there is another European goverment constellation they mentioned.
Edit It was govsatcom. Source: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-to-help-ukraine-replace-musks-starlink/ and Infos about the Constellation https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/govsatcom-satellite-communications_en
