Is this saying that Musk ordered by himself a restriction in the service of Starshield, a US defense infrastructure? Is it just me or this doesn't make any sense?

> by himself

the reporting doesn't indicate he did this "on his own"; but rather it appears it was initiated by the WH. Musk of course giving the order since the WH wasn't going to call up the Starlink engineers directly

> Is this saying that Musk ordered by himself a restriction in the service of Starshield

No, the title and article are about Starlink, Starshield isn't even mentioned.

  • No, it is not, this is the first line of the article:

    "ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine"

    The 'military-grade version of Starlink' = StarShield, the reason they refer to Starlink is because that's what the public knows.
