Musk ordered the slowdown of Starlink that caught Ukraine off guard

Elon Musk ordered a slowdown of Starlink's military version used by Ukraine, causing panic in Kyiv and confusion in the Trump administration. Both Musk and Trump expressed anger over Ukraine's attacks on Russian diesel refineries, which they blame for rising energy prices. The slowdown, which began on October 14, limited Ukrainian drone operations, leading to public complaints from President Zelensky. Musk stated that speed limits are determined by the U.S. military and ultimately the President. The incident has heightened tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine, highlighting Musk's significant influence on the conflict. Ukrainian officials are seeking clarification from the Pentagon and SpaceX regarding the situation.
