SpaceX CEO Elon Musk ordered speed restrictions on the Starshield satellite system used by Ukraine’s military, according to The Wall Street Journal.
U.S. officials said Musk acted unilaterally, while another source claimed he consulted President Trump and senior officials beforehand. SpaceX later contacted the White House, seeking a unified message portraying the restrictions as a coordinated decision with the U.S. government.
