  🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk personally proposed slowing down Ukraine’s Starlink access, and Trump agreed, The Telegraph reports, citing four sources. Musk reportedly later feared backlash from European customers and publicly denied responsibility, blaming the White House instead.

  so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon RE:

  What is Starshield? Starshield is a SpaceX business unit that develops military and intelligence satellite systems for the Pentagon. Starshield’s service is separate from Starlink’s commercial broadband service, but the distinction is sometimes blurry. Starlink cannot be used for offensive military action, SpaceX says, only defensive activities or…

  Elon Musk reportedly proposed restrictions that crippled Ukraine’s Starshield drone defences during Russian attacks. Other sources traced the order to the White House. The deliberate slowdown raises questions about possible sabotage of Ukraine’s defences.

  The order to disrupt Starshield which allowed Russia to kill numerous civilians in Ukraine came directly from the White House. 🤬 Trump is a traitor and a Russian asset.

  Starlink restrictions for Ukraine’s Armed Forces have still not been fully lifted, Zelensky said during a press conference in Brussels. According to him, SpaceX is gradually restoring connection speeds, but service has not yet returned to full capacity. # Ukraine

  The things we know is the order came “from the White House” not necessarily “from the President”. I would imagine trump said something super vague like “Ukraine is getting to much free intel from starlink” and an aide took that to someone with the ability to make that call to someone at starlink that isn’t Musk and make it happen. The result is…

  I am so angry I can barely function. I swear to God, if Democrats take the midterms and don’t do something very drastic, they will never hear the end of me. Justice, all the way down the fucking line.

  News: Guardian | Zelenskyy: Starlink Still Not Fully Restored Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the Ukrainian military’s access to the Starlink satellite internet service has not yet been fully restored...

  He didn't ask for approval, he suggested Trump (the DoD) turn down the speed limit, so they couldn't intercept Russian missiles and drones. They saw how many people they killed by doing that, and obviously got cold feet, and are now blaming each other. But we won't forget. Both these fascists have blood on their hands.

  When your convicted felon of a president has been given almost blanket immunity from SCOTUS, you get lies, betrayal and treason. Why? Because he is a no account criminal who has never been held accountable or punished.

  Russia has threatened to start shooting down starlink sattelites and has a lot of means to do so which would be a corporate disaster for SpaceX and their stock scheme, thats probably why restrictions are coming. They would probably have done it already if Trump werent president.

  No not talking offensive, purely defensive. Protecting and assisting Ukraine with their defence is defensive. Apparently EU does not have enough leverage to force the US to turn back on unrestricted Starshield (which was only used by Ukraine within its borders).

The reality is that they were both in it.” https://www. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202 6/10/16/musk-approached-trump-slow-down-starlink-help-ukraine/

  That will last precisely as long as both of them have power over each other. The second Trump loses political power his "allies" will fall on him like wolves, eager to be first out of the gate to distance themselves from his then toxic legacy.
