If you believe Elon Musk unilaterally gave the order to impose speed restrictions in Ukraine on the Starshield system — the military application of the Starlink satellite communications system made by Musk’s SpaceX — then I have a bridge in Kyiv to sell you . . . if Putin hasn’t blown it to smithereens already.
President Trump and “War” Secretary Pete Hegseth figure you’ve forgotten, or were simply paying no attention, to their attempt to destroy Anthropic, the AI giant that — in a useful analogy to SpaceX Starlink/Starshield — provides our government a military version of Claude, its well-known large language model series. After threatening to confiscate the technology under the Defense Production Act, Secretary Pete Hegseth settled on an invocation of statutory “supply chain risk” (SCR) status against Anthropic (a first against an American company, as Congress intended the designation for hostile foreign entities).
