  The Telegraph reports that Elon Musk himself approached Trump with the idea of restricting Starlink in Ukraine, and Trump agreed. Despite publicly blaming the Trump administration, Musk was reportedly the one who initiated the move, which hampered Ukraine’s military operations

  Ukraine does not use Starlink to strike targets inside Ruzzia, - Zelensky “We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered Shahed drones that attack our civilians and kill families

  Sources: Trump gave the order to limit Ukraine's Starshield access, but only after the move was suggested by Elon Musk: https://www. lbc.co.uk/article/elon-musk-ap proached-donald-trump-to-throttle-ukraines-starlink-access-amid-zele-5Hjdk2w_2/

  Problem is europe or even any nation other then china isn't even close. Starlink is a project that is so colossally expensive building a similar constellation is impossible without rapid reusable rockets that europe does not have. Blaming the US for europe's lack of space capabilities doesn't make sense even though yeah whatever the US is doing is…

  Four sources identify Elon Musk as personally proposing Starshield restrictions to Trump, while three officials trace the order to the White House. Ukraine received no warning. Its interceptor drones were disrupted as Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of ballistic

  You know how I said that "It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Elon Musk suggested" the idea of making Starlink unusuable by Ukrainian drones / drone interceptors?! Or how, when two chronic liars accuse each other of lying, they are probably both lying, in meaningful ways? Well... guess what?! Looks like Elon COLLUDED with Trump to hobble…

  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…

  Trump’s administration is suspected of withholding intelligence from Ukraine on incoming Russian ballistic missile strikes, and of throttling Starshield, the military version of the Starlink satellite internet network, to prevent it from being used on drones flying faster than 100mph. Neither has officially been confirmed. https://www…

  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.

  US President Donald Trump said on Friday that ​he did not think either ‌he or Elon Musk was responsible for Ukraine losing Starlink access in a way that affected ​its military operations against Russia. https://www. reuters.com/world/europe/trump -says-neither-he-nor-musk-responsible-ukraine-starlink-access-2026-10-16/ # Ukraine # Russia # US #…

  Tin foil hats are thick around here my gosh. What does Musk even stand to gain if he did actually suggest to do this. And even if he did, US government controls Starshield. You imagine Musk has a big red button or something? Discourse on this site is weird.

  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.

  "There is no evidence, show me!" "Shows oddly specific topic related evidence" "Your are a tin foil hat and elon musk does not have anything to win! " Yeah, how much money elon made by being trumps stirrup holder since he got elected?

  He's bored. They're all bored and are using destabilizing the world to entertain themselves now that they are unfathomably rich and don't feel anything anymore.

  Maybe, but I'll believe it when I hear it from someone with technical expertise, a track record of honesty, or ideally both.

  Also not really considering how Russia helps Iran against the US. They can benefit from exploiting both sides.
