Musk says he imposed Starlink speed limit on Ukraine service

Original: Musk says he was behind Starlink speed limit after service in Ukraine restored

Elon Musk says he personally limited Starlink internet speeds after service in Ukraine was restored, according to an Associated Press report. The disclosure touches a sensitive point in the war: Starlink connectivity is critical to Ukrainian forces, including drone operations, and Musk has previously faced scrutiny over his control of the service and his conditions for keeping it available to Kyiv.

Why now: Musk's admission highlights his unusually direct personal control over infrastructure Ukraine relies on in the war.
