Musk confirms SpaceX throttled Ukraine's Starlink access amid dispute over terms of service violations, drawing calls for congressional oversight
Elon Musk, whose charge that Ukrainian forces broke Starlink rules to carry out drone strikes has been disputed by Kyiv advisers who say long-standing restrictions made offensive use impossible.Serhii Beskrestnov wrote that Elon Musk's claim was "very strange," given whitelists blocking offensive use had been in place since February.
California Democrat Adam Schiff said Trump and Elon Musk have offered contradictory accounts at different points, adding that 'something isn't adding up here'. Democratic Rep. Jason Crow described Musk's ability to cut off Ukraine as 'beyond disturbing'. Crow, along with Adam Smith and Jim Himes, has written to President Trump demanding answers. Trump, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth have all denied any involvement in the disruption.
Musk claims Ukraine's military violated Starlink's terms by using it 'to kill people'.
Kyiv adviser Serhii Beskrestnov says the restrictions made such offensive operations impossible.
Zelensky says Russia sent close to 2,300 attack drones in a single week during the period when the service was throttled.
