The story so far
On 2026-10-14, Ukrainian military personnel reported sudden overnight restrictions on SpaceX's Starlink satellite network that disrupted several drone operations. Serhiy Beskrestnov, a military technology adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the unannounced change cuts connectivity when terminals exceed roughly 160 kilometres per hour.
On 2026-10-15, a report said an order to curb Ukraine's access to Starshield, the military-grade satellite communications service built by SpaceX, came from inside the White House. Two U.S. officials and a Western official gave that account. They said Defense Department leaders were directed to slow the service for Ukrainian forces. The officials did not say who issued the instruction.
On 2026-10-19, SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk said he will give one share of the company to every child in the United States next year. The pledge would draw on a large personal holding.
