Vance: it's "understandable" that Musk doesn't want to get involved
JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, expressed understanding for Elon Musk's reluctance to engage in the Ukraine conflict without clear guidance from the U.S. government. He emphasized that the issues surrounding Starlink are fundamentally tied to U.S. policy in Ukraine and Russia. Vance criticized European nations for their regulatory actions against SpaceX while simultaneously relying on Musk's technology. He noted the irony of these countries seeking assistance from Musk after imposing restrictions. Recent reports indicate that Musk may have influenced decisions regarding the military version of Starlink, Starshield, including speed limitations for Ukraine's access.
