This was my understanding. Starshield is the satellite network controlled by the US gov. If he messed with that network, maybe there's a case. Using Starlink for military purposes is a violation of ToS.


This is also correct.

My guess is it was the admin (Trump), not Musk. The idea that it just happened and nobody did it intentionally (followed by an attack) is a fairy tale.

They've been doing that since before Trump's '24 campaign. Musk even stated that was one of his motivating factors for getting involved politically.

Which makes way more sense.

Trump: "Don't bomb any more refineries. We need diesel exports."
VZ: *immediately bombs refineries*

Dialing down bandwidth as a subtle reminder of who butters their bread would be the most logical response.

If those contracts are with the government (of the United States) then he needs to do what the U.S. government tells him to do.


He only needs to do what is specifically laid out in said contract. Nothing more or less.
Does someone here know what that is? Specifically?

It was slowed down to the point that it was unusable for its defenses. Which is the point.

So “slowed down” and “access turned off” is just a semantics debate w the same effective outcome.


Not really. One means the access was turned off. The other means access was slowed.

Are you under the impression that internet service providers can guarantee full speeds at all times? Because they can't. Surely you know that, right?

Yeah that seems more likely.

But the admin is straight up denying it. Just don’t want the political blowback?

Again, we’re obviously going to find out eventually. Musk will either be the fall guy or witness #1.

You think there was a massive slowdown, an attack from Russia moments later, and that’s just pure coincidence??

All you’re doing is telling on yourself man.

Musk will be providing all fellow American patriots with a Not-a-Flamethrower and satellite comms when the fighting begins.

Any admin would deny it, but I seriously doubt this admin gives two fricks about political blowback. Definitely not enough to alienate a trillionaire ally. Those don't exactly grow on trees. And it's our network. If we lend it to someone and that someone uses it to frick with our interests, then I agree with them throttling bandwidth.

Restricting the access he's been giving them for basically nothing isn't a war crime, you absolute idiot.


We dont know what Musk did or did not do...... but some frickery is going here that deserves congressional inquiry. Who made the decision to throttle the speed access? Was this access only to be determined by the Pentagon? If not why? I thought Starshield was a military contracted service under control of the Pentagon.If so then why is.the administration blaming Musk. Unless he did act unilaterally and in that case he could be in some shite.

If that were true they wouldn’t be adamantly denying it. They absolutely care, esp right now.

If Musk did it (say he just went rogue and slowed it down wo US gov authorization) that’s the end of any US military contracts moving forward, and criminal charges are absolutely on the table.

Again, my gut says it was Trump. The hearings will reveal the truth eventually.
