Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

Did Musk take direct US military funding prior to those incidents in Ukraine?

People seem to want state control in a capitalist economy. That's just not really how capitalism works.

Yes, he did. He was paid by the US government for it.

Can you link the proof? I am pretty certain he did indeed take US money, but I am unsure about the timeline between the money grant and the Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet.
