Musk blames U.S. Military and Trump for any throttling of StarLink/Starshield. I bet Trump had Hegseth to do it as a threat to Zelensky not to attack Putin's oil infrastructure. "Trump Kills Ukrainians" should the headline. Of course, both Trump and Musk are gaslighting narcissistic liars.
Elon Musk X post about Starshield being throttled: 

“Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.

Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.”
