  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.

  Not the first time Elno has shut down Starlink to hurt Ukrainians. He needs to face trial.

  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

  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 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.

  Providing aid and comfort to an adversary as well as betraying an allied nation and the whole of NATO sure seems like a treasonous thing to do.

  TELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump. Putin wins again, as usual. Russia was never a hoax.

  One liar says "it's not me". The other liar also says "it's not me". It can't be anyone else but one of the above. What a mystery!

  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.
