Tesla demonstrated its next-generation Roadster in Waco, Texas, with the electric supercar driving upside down, briefly flying and accelerating to 60 mph in less than a second.

At a pro-Canada rally in Calgary, Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that outside forces were trying to break up Canada so they could control it. Alberta voters will decide whether the province stays within Canada or instructs the government to begin the legal process toward a separation referendum; Monday’s vote is not itself a referendum on independence.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the United States is trying to break Canada. Advance voting is underway in Alberta on a referendum that could put the oil-rich province on the path toward a future vote on separating from Canada.

Hours after Ukrainian officials found that restrictions on Starlink terminals had disrupted the country’s military operations, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk sought to shift responsibility away from his company.

Could Donald Trump and Elon Musk end Ukraine’s hopes of holding out against Russia with the flick of a switch? As Kyiv reels from daily attacks by Russia’s new motor-powered drones, the US decision to slow SpaceX’s Starlink service was felt immediately Wednesday when air raid warnings failed.

UK defence secretary Wes Streeting called on the US to stand by Ukraine during a Washington visit, seeking to ease tensions over the Starlink dispute. Ahead of meeting Pete Hegseth, he argued that backing Kyiv served America’s long-term interests and offered an opportunity for defence-industrial cooperation.

Malfunctions in Ukraine’s military Starshield terminals disrupted drone operations, including strikes and air defense. The service later became more reliable, but a 160-kilometer-per-hour cap remained. Washington, the Pentagon and SpaceX have not definitively taken responsibility for imposing the restriction, which sparked bipartisan anger in the US.

Ukraine says SpaceX’s Starlink network has been restricted in the country. Its president told Elon Musk that restricting the system costs lives. Starlink is crucial to the war, helping Kyiv guide drones toward Russian targets and protect itself. Musk has suggested the US government may be behind limits on the network’s speed.

Ukraine accused the United States on Wednesday of aiding Russia by not warning it about incoming missile strikes and said changes to battlefield Starlink had hindered its military response. President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Elon Musk to restore the system, which Kyiv says has been slowed down.
