Musk says U.S. military and Trump control Starshield speed limits disrupting Ukraine as Russia pounds the grid
Elon Musk wrote on X Wednesday that any speed or usage limits on SpaceX's government Starshield service "are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS," after Ukraine reported overnight restrictions that disrupted military operations, Fox News reported. A source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital that Ukraine got no advance warning and that Starshield would be restricted on platforms traveling at 100 mph or higher; Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said connectivity below that threshold was being restored while urging the speed limit be removed entirely. Separately, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian overnight missile and drone strikes damaged 26 power-system facilities and four oil-and-gas sites and left at least 600,000 people without power in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions, despite the energy ceasefire President Trump announced Sunday, CNBC reported.
