A squabble between billionaire Elon Musk and a Poland's foreign minister led Secretary of State Marco Rubio to jump into the fray with an abrasive response that took the tech mogul's side against the longtime ally.
That led MSNBC's Joe Scarborough to castigate Rubio and accuse him of throwing away his credibility to stay in good graces with Musk and Donald Trump.
Radosław Sikorski responded on X after Musk argued with a Ukraine supporter over the U.S. instead favoring the invading Russian army and threats over restricting use of Starlink. That led to Musk to fire back, "Be quiet, small man. You pay a tiny fraction of the cost, and there is no substitute for Starlink.”

Rubio then joined the argument by writing on X, "Just making things up. No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now."
The secretary of state's comment rehashed a recent meeting in the Oval Office where Vice President J.D. Vance berated Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for not thanking Donald Trump personally for his tepid support of the war-torn nation.
Scarborough then called out Rubio, who walked away from his Senate seat representing Florida.
"To get into a fight on Twitter with a leader in Poland, this would be like Ronald Reagan's cabinet member getting in a fight with a leader of West Germany in the 1980s," Scarborough observed.
"You have Poland, who is the tip of the spear for America for western democracy, they are on the front lines and everybody knows it," he added. "You could go back and see Rubio in 2014 castigating the Biden, the Obama administration and castigating them for ignoring the treaty that that everybody signed, including Putin signed, that if the Ukrainians gave up their nuclear weapons, that we would guarantee their sovereignty and guarantee their borders."
"Poland is now what West Germany was at the height of the cold war," he added. "It is just unspeakable that this former cold war warrior would now be going on X attacking the Poles."
