Elon Musk ordered a “slowdown” to Starlink in Ukraine that set off a “panic” in the country and “confusion inside” the Trump administration.
The Wall Street Journal dropped a report on Tuesday diving into a disruption in Ukraine’s Starlink-internet service as they continue fighting a war with Russia.
According to U.S. officials and three people familiar with the situation, “Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration.”
If this is true, and it wasnt the DoD, how on earth could they keep using starshield.
The whole fucking point of starshield is they own and operate it.
This is breaking like core tenant of what it is.
Such an idiotic move if true.
Edit: like earlier there were reports Musk suggested it to trump or whatever. Still horrible, but at least that kept control within the DoD which would keep the illusion they are in control.
Yes, Musk reportedly alteady said this wasn’t him, because he has no control. So someone is lying. On Par.
Why is it so unfathomable to everybody that both Musk and the Trump admin wanted this. It’s like Musk and Maga blaming and accusing each other for the Epstein stuff…both are simultaneously lieing and telling the truth, both are involved and both are the problem.
