U.S. Senator Rubio states that restrictions on Starlink services in Ukraine are decided by Musk, not the White House.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio stated on Wednesday that access and speed limitations for Ukraine's Starlink service are determined by its parent company, SpaceX, and its CEO, Elon Musk, and are not related to the White House. This follows reports that Musk ordered a slowdown of the military version of the Starshield service, which Ukraine uses to defend against Russian missile attacks. An advisor to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy previously stated on October 14 that SpaceX imposed a 160 km/h speed limit on Starshield services, disrupting multiple missions. Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth both denied White House involvement in the limitation decision, calling it a commercial contract issue. Musk previously stated on X that any speed or usage limitations are ultimately decided by the U.S. military and the President.
