Elon Musk says Starshield is "owned and controlled by the US governmen"

Elon Musk stated that the military version of his Starlink satellite system, known as Starshield, is under the control of the U.S. government, with decisions on its speed and use made by the U.S. military and the President. This comes as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Starlink usage had been restricted, leading to potential casualties. Musk clarified that Starlink itself is a commercial service from SpaceX, intended for civilian or defensive purposes, not offensive military actions. These statements emerged during a period of renewed British support for Ukraine, including funding for Chernobyl repairs and accelerated missile deliveries, amidst strained U.S.-Ukraine relations and comments from former President Trump regarding sanctions and peace talks.
