Elon Musk accused Ukraine’s military of using Starlink for offensive drone strikes in breach of its terms, a claim Ukrainian officials denied, saying commercial Starlink could not technically be used for such missions. The dispute follows Ukrainian accusations that SpaceX restrictions disrupted military drone operations. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Starlink and Starshield services had been fully restored.
TThe Verge
Elon Musk said the risk of Russia destroying Starlink satellites is one of the main reasons the service should remain civilian and not support clearly offensive strikes. In mid-October, restrictions affected Ukraine’s military Starshield terminals, with connections dropping when drones exceeded 160 kilometers per hour. Ukraine’s armed forces denied using Starlink for offensive drone attacks, saying this was technically impossible because the service does not operate over Russian territory.

Elon Musk said Ukraine violated Starlink’s terms of service by using the commercial service for lethal offensive drone strikes. His remarks followed a SpaceX restriction on using the satellite technology aboard drones flying above certain speeds. A current and a former Ukrainian official rejected his claim, saying earlier limits already prevented the military from using Starlink as he described. Ukrainian officials have also accused Musk of restricting access to Starshield, the military version available to Ukraine through a US government deal.

After Kyiv said Starlink access had been restored, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk accused Ukraine’s armed forces of breaking the service’s terms by using it for offensive drone strikes to kill people.

Silicon Valley billionaires spent a record amount on this year’s midterms, but for the most part their investment paid off poorly. Voters backed data-center restrictions, while many Democratic candidates defeated Republicans by attacking tech companies and vowing to rein in their “oligarch” owners.
