Musk Orders Starshield Slowdown in Ukraine, WSJ Reports

The Wall Street Journal reports Elon Musk ordered a slowdown of the Starshield military satellite network in Ukraine, a move Kyiv says was implemented without prior warning from the Pentagon. This is a first reported instance of Musk unilaterally restricting a military-grade capability during active conflict, potentially degrading Ukrainian frontline communications and drone interception. The claim is sourced to unnamed government and company insiders; neither Musk nor the Pentagon has commented, leaving the operational impact and authorization chain uncertain.
