Musk confirms SpaceX restricted Ukraine's wartime Starlink access

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

Elon Musk has acknowledged that SpaceX deliberately limited Ukraine's use of Starlink in its war with Russia, saying a loophole allowing extended access had been closed. The admission renews debate over a private company's influence on an active conflict, with critics questioning how Starlink's coverage decisions shaped Ukrainian military operations and the balance of power with Russia.

Why now: The admission raises fresh concerns about a private billionaire's control over critical battlefield communications in an ongoing war.
