SpaceX has implemented a 100 mph speed limit on Starlink terminals in motion, affecting the StarShield military package in Ukraine. Advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov states this unannounced change has disrupted several military missions. https:// t.me/serhii_flash/7807 # Ukraine # Russia # US # Musk # Starlink

I want to know how the guy(s) behind the switch in Starlink feels. Or the guys in Pentagon who knew the ballistic missile are coming on civilians in Kyiv, but they withheld the information because their pedophile President and alcoholic rapist War Secretary told them so. To hell with USA by now.

If we win the mid-terms and the presidency in 2028, I want all of his contracts voided with the U.S. government. If Jack Smith becomes our next AG, I want Musk investigated.

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.

While Musk owns SpaceX which controls Starlink systems and can impose restrictions on them in Ukraine, those that began overnight are on the Starshield military version of the system controlled by the Pentagon. This suggests the decision to limit the speed of the Starshield systems was made within...

This is why it was such a stupid mistake ever to let Elon Musk gain a monopoly over satellite tech. He is not a trustworthy supplier of anything.

Keep in mind that Musk cutting off Starlink to Ukrainian Forces doesn't affect Ukraine's strikes on Russian territory, as it's already blocked there. This is Musk purely attempting to limit Ukraine's strikes on Russians INSIDE Ukraine. Any European governments using Starlink need to understand th...

Here we go! The psychopaths, Putin, Trump, Kushner, Witkoff, Musk & others, I’m sure have hooked up with each other to privately defeat Zelensky & exact revenge on him for taking out more than bots, as in dark money & crypto, hitting those data centers. Bless you leader of the free world, Zelensky!

So a ketamine billionaire with a Ukraine grudge can throttle battlefield internet on a whim. Musk has had his thumb on that kill switch since 2022. Ukraine's fighting Russia with a landlord in Texas.

This is a good argument for Europe to control its own satellite internet system. It can’t be at the whim of one man.

It didn't take them long to start restricting Starlink in Ukraine. While Russia destroys Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure, the US is restricting Ukraine's operations. Absolute disgrace, this gotta be the most Russia-friendly administration in the US history.
