Musk conditions Starlink usage for deep strikes in Russia on US political authorization

Elon Musk reportedly informed former Ukrainian official Mykhailo Fedorov that SpaceX is technically capable of enabling Starlink for long-range drone strikes within Russia, but requires explicit White House approval to proceed. This shift highlights the tension between private satellite infrastructure control and state-level military strategy. It remains unclear if the Biden administration has received or acted upon such a request.
