Ukraine disputes Elon Musk's claim that its military used Starlink 'to kill people' after SpaceX throttled the service
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.
Serhii Beskrestnov, an adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky, called the billionaire's post 'very strange'. He said Starlink drones in Ukraine were already capped at 70-90km/h and did not work over Russian territory. Drone supplier Serhii Sternenko, who worked with the Ministry of Defence, said 'this is not true'. Elon Musk insists the 'loophole was closed last week'.
Musk said he has 'UTTER CONTEMPT' for 'virtue-signaling evil warmongers'.
Trump said he told Musk to 'put it back' after repeatedly denying ordering the slowdown.
Senator Adam Schiff wants Musk compelled to testify before Congress under oath.
