Musk says he was behind Starlink speed restriction in Ukraine

Elon Musk has confirmed that he personally directed a restriction of Starlink internet speeds in Ukraine, in an account published by CBC News. The admission sheds new light on how the satellite network has been managed during the war with Russia, where Starlink is a critical communications tool for Ukrainian forces. Commentators are debating the implications of a private individual wielding such influence over military communications in an active conflict.

Why now: Musk's admission that he personally limited a key wartime communications tool for Ukraine raises concerns about private control over military infrastructure.
