Musk proposed limiting Starlink speeds in Ukraine to Trump, The Telegraph reports

ukranews.com (Ukrainian) —

Elon Musk personally proposed to US President Donald Trump limiting Starlink satellite communication speeds in Ukraine, and Trump agreed, enabling the Pentagon to impose restrictions on the military Starshield system, according to The Telegraph. The decision allowed restrictions on Starshield, a military version of the satellite system used by Ukrainian forces for intercepting Russian drones and rear operations. Musk denied responsibility on October 14, claiming US military and the president made the choice. The Telegraph reported Musk grew concerned about European user backlash and publicly shifted blame to the US administration, though sources said both parties were involved. Trump previously stated he did not know who ordered the restrictions.
