If Musk was in any way coherent during his time around Trump, he’d have something on
Him, some lever. Trump is a Russian asset.
The UK is stepping up in its supply, announced they're trebling production of air defence missiles in Northern Ireland 4 months ago:
Deal will create 200 jobs in Northern Ireland and provide 5000 air defence missiles to Ukraine.

Clearly those plans are now delivering:
The UK will boost Ukraine’s air defence with 350 missiles using funds from seized Russian assets, helping to protect Ukrainians from Putin’s attacks.

"UK to provide 350 ASRAAM air defence missiles using £70m of funding, to be repaid using revenues from sanctioned Russian assets
...
The ASRAAM missiles can be fired using the RAVEN Ground Based Air Defence System supplied by the UK to Ukraine, with five more RAVEN systems due for imminent delivery, bringing the total to 13.
Initially used as air-to-air missiles fired from fighter jets, RAF engineers adapted ASRAAM in just three months to be launched from the back of a UK designed and built truck, working with a British defence industry team from MBDA UK, based in Bolton."
It's not just missiles either:
"The UK will also invest a record £350m this year to increase the supply of drones to Ukraine from a target of 10,000 in 2024 to 100,000 in 2025. "
Not enormous amounts of money, but a good illustration of how the US administration is damaging its own long term dominance of the west's military supply chain.
