Musk says it isn't him throttling Ukraine's drones — it's the U.S.

Original version ·

When Ukraine's tech-heavy military started hitting walls with their satellite internet, Elon Musk pointed a finger straight at the White House.

So, the Ukrainian military noticed their high-tech drones were suddenly losing their minds—and their internet—whenever they hit certain speeds. Naturally, everyone looked at Elon Musk, because that is generally how this timeline works. Musk’s response? A classic pivot. He claimed the specific tech Ukraine is using, Starshield, isn't even his to control.

According to Musk, the U.S. Government is the one pulling the strings on the military-grade side of things, deciding what stays fast and what gets throttled. He’s doubling down on the idea that SpaceX is just a commercial provider, not a weapon-toting mercenary outfit.

The irony of a billionaire billionaire blaming the President of the United States for a tech glitch while simultaneously weighing in on whether foreign leaders should keep their jobs is peak 2026. Let that sink in.

    Wait, so who actually owns the satellites then? This is getting confusing.
