Musk: US government controls any Starshield slowdowns in Ukraine

france24.com —

Elon Musk said Wednesday that any disruptions Ukraine reports in using the Starshield satellite system would be the US government's responsibility, not SpaceX's. Musk stated Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government, with any speed or usage limits decided by the US military and ultimately President Donald Trump. The remarks follow reported slowdowns in Ukraine's access to the military-grade satellite service, which is separate from SpaceX's civilian Starlink network.
