EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.
The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.
‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.
But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.
The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.
‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

Anyone else find it concerning that 2 of the most powerful men on earth are also the most pathetic
So Elon Musk and Donald Trump together decided to engage in an action that directly led to the death of innocent civilians and put Americans at serious risk.
And the President did this without alerting Congress, which he is required to do.
And both Musk and Trump denied
Aid groups push more micro-loan programs into poor villages, assuming competition helps. A new experiment suggests that push could backfire and leave borrowers worse off.
First, Musk blamed Trump. Now reports say Musk himself proposed the restrictions.
All the while, Ukraine was under attack. Innocent people were killed.
And Poland was paying for the service. Europe should take note.
Elon Musk should be immediately sued by the victims of Russian strikes and Ukraine itself. Quite literally an intentional and illegal act that foreseeably caused the death of Ukrainians. Get an injunction to stop him in from doing this again plus monetary damages. Outrageous.
"Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe"
What a depraved person Musk is. He was not concerned about the death and destruction he was unleashing, he was concerned about his bottom line.
Elon was upset that Russian botnets went down after the data center was hit. He tweeted “Zelensky went too far” then no more starlink. Weird.
They both have Ukrainian civilians and children's blood on their hands and should be in the dock at the Hague 🤬🤬🤬🤬
So clearly, Donald Judas Trump, the President of the United States, is unfit if he is agreeing with such orders from a private citizen.
Americans are making excuses for Donald. He makes the final decision. He could’ve said no.
He actively is helping Russia attack and kill
Not by VICTIMS in Kyiv, not by the disruption of special operations, but by the REACTION OF CONSUMERS in Europe!!!!
That is, first of all, this monkey was interested in MONEY, not human lives.
Here is the true face of the American techno-billionaire.
How do you like this,
The new reporting raises a direct question about the administration's public account: if Musk proposed the restrictions and Trump agreed, why did the president deny that either was responsible?

🛰 🇺🇲 🇺🇦 Musk proposed Starlink restrictions to Trump - and Trump agreed, sources tell The Telegraph
Hours after President Donald Trump denied personally ordering restrictions on Ukraine's Starshield communications network, and said he did not believe Elon Musk was responsible,
Musk trying to blame the White House for Starlink fiasco , is firing back - I think the love story between Trump and Musk is coming to an end. The fight for survival between those two will be delicious to watch.🍿
Yes protect those Teslas sitting on the street at all cost even if you have to lie about it Good plan Elmo
Every country using Starshield taking notice.
Access is at the whim of Musk and Trump’s personal grift and endeavors
THE BUCK STOPS WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
Yes, Elon is corrupt and wrong, but Donald Judas Trump made the final decision.
Ukrainian babies were murdered because the network slowed..hurts my heart to even think that this might be true..are we not human??☹️
