Wall Street Journal: Elon Musk ordered the restriction of Starshield

Elon Musk approved the temporary restriction of the Starshield satellite service for the Ukrainian army, according to the Wall Street Journal. Sources indicate that Musk made this decision independently after discussions with Donald Trump, who expressed concerns over rising fuel prices linked to Ukrainian military actions. Following the restrictions, confusion arose within the White House, prompting an investigation into the order's origin. Musk later claimed that the U.S. government operates Starshield and that the military and ultimately the president decide on its limitations. However, officials, including Marco Rubio, stated they were unaware of any such request. Ukraine has since sought renewed access to the Starshield system, which is crucial for its defense against Russian attacks.
