As many of us have suspected, the plot to reduce the capabilities of Starshield in Ukraine was hatched by musk in cahoots with trump, according to The Telegraph. Earlier today, when asked "Was it you or was it Elon Musk who decided to temporarily pause Starlink access for the Ukrainian military?", trump replied - "I don't know if it was anybody, because it wasn't me, and I don't think it was Elon." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/10/16/musk-approached-trump-slow-down-starlink-help-ukraine/ https://kyivindependent.com/musk-asked-trump-to-restrict-ukraines-starlink-service-telegraph-reports/ #UsPol 10/n
