Otabek YusupovSpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on October 25 on the social network X that using Starlink in offensive operations could make the system a legitimate target for retaliatory strikes.

The problem coincided with a diplomatic conflict over strikes on Russian oil facilities.
Aziz KarimovA sudden Starlink slowdown in Ukraine, only recently restored, exposed Kyiv's dependence on Elon Musk's network. Musk said that using the service for drone strikes violates the terms of service. Alternatives — Eutelsat/OneWeb, Govsatcom, the future Iris² and Nokia's projects with ICEYE — still lag behind in speed and coverage.

Aziz KarimovUkrainian authorities reported that after more than a week of restrictions, the Starlink satellite system and its military version Starshield are once again operating at previous speeds. The restrictions hampered the interception of Russian drones and caused friction with the United States; who exactly was responsible for the slowdown remains unclear.
Otabek YusupovSpaceX, according to Ukraine's defense minister, has restored normal operation of the military version of Starlink — Starshield — after roughly 10 days of restrictions during which drones lost connectivity at speeds of about 100 miles per hour. According to WSJ, Trump called Musk and asked him to restore the service. The military received no explanations for the restrictions.
Aziz KarimovElon Musk said in an interview with Walter Isaacson that Ndiaga Diene, who carried out a shooting near a bar in Austin on March 1, 2026, worked at the Tesla plant in Texas until December 2025 and was fired after attacking an employee during her prayer break. According to the FBI, three people were killed, 15 were injured, and the shooter was shot dead by police. The motive for the attack could not be established.
