Original: Musk ordered Starlink slowdown in Ukraine: WSJ

The Wall Street Journal reports that Elon Musk personally ordered a slowdown of Starlink internet service in Ukraine, reportedly affecting connectivity near the front lines. The claim, covered by The Hill citing the Journal, revives scrutiny of Musk's role in deciding battlefield access to SpaceX satellite communications during Russia's war in Ukraine.

Why now: A new report alleges Musk unilaterally curtailed service used by Ukrainian forces, renewing controversy over private control of wartime infrastructure.
