A new report has emerged alleging that Elon Musk ordered a slowdown of Starlink satellite internet services in Ukraine. The details surrounding the timing and motivation behind this alleged directive remain limited, but the report highlights a connection between the decision and a conversation between Musk and President Donald Trump. According to the report, the two spoke by phone shortly after the service slowdown became public knowledge, during a period when Trump was actively campaigning.

Starlink, operated by Musk’s company SpaceX, has been a critical component of Ukraine's communication infrastructure since the onset of the conflict with Russia. While the report asserts that a deliberate slowdown occurred, it does not provide specific technical details regarding the duration or the geographic scope of the service degradation. The intersection of private corporate control over essential wartime infrastructure and high-level political communication has drawn renewed attention to Musk’s influence in international affairs. There is currently no official confirmation from SpaceX or the Trump administration regarding the specific content of the conversation or the technical justification for the alleged service adjustment.
