We have, to my mind anyway, extremely welcome news that President Trump called Elon Musk and prevailed on him to restore full functionality of Starlink/Starshield for the Ukrainian military. It gets to what I wrote about in my piece on the homepage today — that a number of factors conspired to make it unlikely that the administration could maintain its latest apparent shift away from Ukraine and toward Russia.
But the reporting seems to confirm that it was Musk’s initial call to hobble access (whether it was made with or without White House blessing is less clear).
