Elon Musk has just delivered a clarifying statement on X platform, outlining what many suspected.
Ukraine was using Starlink to attack Russia, that was never allowed. Ukraine was authorized to use Starlink to defend itself inside Ukraine and communicate on the front lines of battle. However, Ukraine military leadership weaponized their access to Starlink and began using it as an offensive missile/drone guidance system. That was stopped.
ELON MUSK – “Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.” {Source}
This is exactly what many suspected. For the past two weeks Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been obfuscating what Ukraine was doing, while U.S. member of congress were conflating the difference between Starlink and Starshield.
Ukraine was never permitted to use Starlink as an offensive weapon outside its borders. Zelenskyy and his military were purposefully violating the terms of use for Starlink systems by weaponizing it.
The U.S. government under Biden and Trump would not authorize the use of Starshield for Ukraine’s use because that would be akin to the United States military guiding missiles and drones into a nuclear armed power, Russia.
It will be interesting to see how Zelenskyy and congress respond to this statement by Elon Musk.

So Elon is part of the problem if cessation of carnage is goal.
Uh….no.
Ending the war is the goal. As Elon said, no Starlink and Russia rolls through and wins. I imagine there are Ukrainians that don’t want that outcome.
Just stop.
I’m sure we’re all shocked; the real story is what’s to be done about leftist fake news media outlets undermining the duly elected President of The United States – it’s well past time to hold the lying bastards accountable.
👍
The leftist propaganda mouthpieces need to be indicted right along with the corrupt politicians and fraudsters – MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW GET OUT AND VOTE.
I wonder if there is any truth to this tweet… apparently, Ukraine HACKED Starlink to trick it into allowing the drones to work with the terminals over the speed limit or something….
this was discussed in yesterdays thread. They hacked the motherboards.
Cokehead Z man doesn’t appreciate a G damn thing. Lied and spit in Elon’s face while Elon was saving his corrupt ass. Steals money from taxpayers and kicks back bribes to Our treasonous uniparty congress.
The cokehead needs to be eliminated for the good of mankind. Congress members taking bribes need to be tried and imprisoned.
There are some of us that would appreciate it if you would refrain from using the Lord’s name in vain.
Thank you.
Was going to say the same thing.
I prefer the sh*t word instead. GD is offensive. As Ms Lucianne used to say; “this is. Salon, not a saloon.” I understand the frustration, however. Senseless deaths on both sides created by our own spooks and politicians.
…and yet Zelensky still gets billions of dollars, weapons and satellite targeting from the United States?
Ooh I like his last paragraph blasting the warmongers. Needs to be said!
Are we sure they’re not usung StarShield?

Assume the NY Times is lying. It’s much easier to get to the truth if you start there.
I wish Elon would just be more direct. I’d like to know what he really thinks of the warmongers.
Well he could have said FA FO. HA HA
That Little lying Nazi is getting hit from all sides by Trump’s people.
Lindsay Graham found out.
Yes and we may never know the truth on that.
I wonder if the Starshield usage had anything to do with Mr Graham’s visit to Ukraine? It seems timely that all this came out afterwards.
I don’t have any use for electric cars, but I do like Elon.
Same.
That said, I think the ‘jump jet’ system (the car can’t sustain flight… it jumps then falls with style) could have immense value as a safety system in automobiles.
If it can accelerate a car from 0-60mph in 0.83s… it can stop one that quick too… which works out to about 35 feet of ground covered. Tie that into some motion detectors and the amount of lives it could save might exceed airbags and seatbelts. Similarly, a one-shot corrective righting and slow land of a vehicle that falls of a precipice is a rarer situation, but amazing to consider that such a thing could become survivable with little to no injury.
We only have the prospect of that because of all the research that went into SpaceX putting things into space. It’s pretty amazing.
I have always thought a flying car would be the future but not way up in the air. Instead the car would float above the ground.
Imagine then, no tires needed, road conditions wouldn’t matter, and spending billions on roads would be a thing of the past.
I hope this car is a step in that direction though I could do without the 0-60 part. That’s hard on the human body.
John: I thought the same then realized that plenty of people can’t drive with roads and lines and traffic signs and signals.
Mrs BNG would be the equivalent of the Death Star in something you describe. Lol
Not a 75 year old golfer?
Any punishment for misuse and violations? Is Ukraine paying for use at all? Source of funds?
Probably our $$$!
It seems the confusion is ongoing.
“SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the company restricted Ukraine’s access to its high-speed technology because Kyiv violated Starlink’s terms of service.
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Starlink and Starshield connectivity is again restored on equipment moving above 400 km/h (249 mph).“
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/ukraine-starlink-starshield-service-restored.html
The confusion is ongoing because you can never be told the truth!
Epoch Times is reporting the same which is surprising to me. Much contradiction.
Look at your source CNBC and Ukraine …..nuff said, they want to conflate and confuse on the issue. If the Russians begin to suspect that Ukraine has access to StarSheild it might lead to escalation which is what the idiotic media, EU and globalists all seem to want.
Looks like that’s a possibility. I just did a search and this news article popped up.

Just remember, when Little z and/or the Ukraine gov’t opens their mouths they are lying.
Not going to pretend not to notice that you don’t make a oopsie “loophole” like that by accident. (din du nuffins). But it’s a fake war so I’m not surprised.
Stay away from the msm aka fake news and clear your mind.
Elon is telling John Cornyn and Amy Klobuchar to go burn in hell, which they rightly deserve.
We sure that Z hasn’t been given access to Starshield by his friends like Vicky Nuland and her fellow travelers?
I 100% agree with Elon’s sentiment and statement. May they all, indeed, burn in Hell.
From Elon: “Final Notice. You subscription is about to be cancelled. Tread lightly and wisely.”
End of Story.
