In case the GOP Congress has any remaining doubts about where Trump is putting the US in Ukraine’s battle for their country… Ukraine has accused Elon Musk’s SpaceX of undermining its ability to defend itself by limiting Starlink internet services, as they were being hit by intense Russian ballistic missile attacks. Attacks they say came without the usual warning from the US. The Ukrainians say that, two nights ago, without warning, Musk’s SpaceX Starshield restricted the speed limits for the Starlink terminals Ukraine’s military uses. This debilitated Ukraine’s drones while Russia hit their energy infrastructure—which Trump said must be left alone. The Financial Times reported that again last night Russia launched 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 drones against Ukraine. And, just as the night before, Ukraine received no intelligence warning from the US. Last night Ukrainian drone operators also found they could not control drones at speeds above 100 mph. Did Elon Musk deliberately sabotage Ukrainian military operations in defiance of American national security policy? If so, this would have been at least the second time Musk had used his power over communications to weaken Ukraine. Reporting done in 2025, as Ukraine was retaking land Russia had invaded in 2022, Musk ordered engineers to deactivate Starlink in crucial areas. This left the Ukrainian military without comms. And unable to gather intelligence. Or aim at targets. Doing so, it stated that Musk had taken “the outcome of a war into his own hands.” SpaceX is a defense contractor for the US government. Currently receiving more than $16B through various agencies. With potential for as much $30B forthcoming. SpaceX operates the US’s military’s primary satellite communications—the same system limited in Ukraine—and launches most of the classified intelligence satellites for the US. Musk put the responsibility for restrictions on the WH, saying the military version of Starlink, Starshield, is owned and controlled by the US government. “Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS,” Musk said. But Axios reported that both systems—Starshield and Starlink—were restricted. They also reported that, while Musk blamed Trump for the service slowdown, the WH claimed it had no control over SpaceX, throwing the hot potato back at Musk. The Financial Times reported that last week Trump asked European countries to thaw Russian assets that were frozen after the invasion of Ukraine. And to transfer those assets to a vehicle controlled by the US. In order to revive peace talks. They declined. What are the President’s intentions in the deadly game he’s playing? Is a US contractor the power behind our military? Has the US relinquished total control to a trillionaire who seemingly controls our space technology? Is Elon Musk the new US God of War? Where’s the GOP Congress?
