Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 km/h is being restored. Removing Starshield’s speed limit entirely is now critical for Ukraine’s defense. Thank you, @elonmusk. We hope for your continued support.

Leaving X has, I'm pretty sure, hit my bookings and career. But it comes at the massive bonus of a) my own mental wellbeing and b) not providing free content for the owner of Starlink:

It breaks my heart to say that, and it is a serious question but... Is this the beginning of the end of this war? I hope someone will pull a trick to help Ukraine but since the end of the summer it seems like most political decisions are going in the favor of Russia ( Trump buying Russian oil, USA stoping to sell air defence to Ukraine, Starlink…

This drives home the point that depending on US companies for anything means you have to bow and pay tribute to the US regime or else they'll cut you off, even if the company itself doesn't want to. The US is currently an authoritarian regime without law.

Which part? The federal funding for research and development? The federal funding for satellite launches? The federal funding for Starlink rollout domestically and to strategic partners? The federal research for space flight that underlies all SpaceX rocket, satellite, and communications technologies? The federal funding and research for…

My recollection is Trump posted Zelensky had gone too far, mostly referring to hitting refineries and then Musk echoed he's gone to far. I don't think it's about data centers especially.

⚡️ Musk says he wasn’t the one who restricted Starlink — and hints that Trump is behind it “Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS,” Elon Musk wrote on X. Now, pay

A bipartisan Ukraine Caucus in the US Congress raised concerns over Starlink restrictions and a possible halt to intelligence sharing with Ukraine, warning this could leave civilians, including US citizens in Ukraine, more vulnerable to Russian attacks. # Ukraine

They never said that. The security assurances of the Budapest Memorandum were: Respect each other's sovereignty. Refrain from attacks or threats of attack. No economic coercion. Seek out the UN security council if conflict arises. Don't use nuclear weapons. Further, these were "assurances" not garauntees. Assurances aren't binding.

US Senator Richard Blumenthal said Trump and Musk “must be held accountable” for Starlink failures in Ukraine. SpaceX reportedly throttled the military Starlink for Ukraine’s drones, and on the same night, a Russian ballistic strike killed three in Kyiv without warning from allies https:// euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/14…

What happens if some future US military mission is say, counter-insurgency in Sudan and Elon decides "hmm, this isn't a priority the US government should be focusing on, no service for you"? This is even a good argument for the US government to develop their own equivalent capability since NASA will always jump when told to

The small techbros that loves musk and musk products are definitely emotionally stunted and having some form of empathy deficiency. Every single one I've met has been gleefully bragging about how smart Trump and Musk are, and how they're investing everything into SpaceX and Nvidia and shit.
