Musk admits SpaceX restricted Ukraine's Starlink access

Original: Musk admits SpaceX restricted Ukraine's Starlink: "That loophole was closed"

Elon Musk has confirmed that SpaceX deliberately restricted Ukraine's access to Starlink during the war with Russia, saying 'that loophole was closed.' The admission touches on earlier reporting about limits placed on the service near conflict zones, raising questions about private companies' control over military-relevant technology. It has renewed debate over Musk's role in the Ukraine war and the extent of his influence over battlefield communications.

Why now: Musk's direct confirmation of a politically sensitive decision involving a major war is new and provocative.
