Elon Musk previously said any limit on Ukraine's use of Starshield satellite connectivity came ultimately from the President, but new reports indicate the decision was his own. The Pentagon denies issuing any order, and Ukrainian drones were still reportedly losing their connection above 160 km/h as of 20 October. The discrepancy is fuelling debate over private control of wartime communications and accountability for battlefield decisions affecting Ukraine's drone operations.
Why now: New reporting contradicts Musk's earlier claim that the White House was behind restrictions on Ukraine's battlefield connectivity.
