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."
