Elon Musk on Saturday continued to defend Starlink after Ukraine faced more than a week of speed restrictions that disrupted its war effort against Russia, saying SpaceX has done more to defend the country than any other private company "by far," while accusing the country of using the technology in violation of its terms of service "to kill people." "Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be," Musk wrote on X, claiming that Ukraine had "violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week." He explained that Starshield is a different system controlled by the U.S. government. "What they decide to do is up to them." ELON MUSK BLAMES TRUMP, US MILITARY FOR SPACEX RESTRICTIONS UKRAINE WARNS COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES "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," he wrote in response to an X post that stated Starlink is "not a weapons system." "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," he added. Musk said that Starlink was crucial at the beginning of the war because it was the only means of communication that couldn’t be "destroyed or jammed by Russia. "SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR," he claimed. "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." Last week, Musk blamed the issue on the U.S. military. "Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS," the SpaceX , Tesla and X CEO wrote in a post.
