Except that the owner of starshield has the presidents ear and favor, he asked the commander in chief of the military to change things. There is control in theory and control in practice, not always the same thing.

Why go through the headache and paperwork and expense of official channels if a phone call gets it done ?
It's going to be the same outcome. When the military wants something done, in the name of an "ongoing conflict" aka war, private corporations obey, because the military is writing the checks.
WSJ gins everyone up and makes it all sound like its some kind of scandal.
Theres probably 1,000 videos on youtube about companies helping government in times of war.
WSJ has subscriptions to sell.
They told us to wear masks for COVID too. :|
"Hey Elon, can you jiggle the telco line quality to make 'em nervous, we're having meetings soon."
"No problem Donald. I got you."
Thats my theory, based on words in articles n stuff.
I agree that competent military people understand the benefits to aiding and working with Ukraine, that Ukraine has been helping the US and ME with their anti-drone expertise, and that the broken media systems loves to write stories "CEO said..."
Unfortunately, there are some pretty big sociopaths at the top (Musk, Hegseth, Vance, Trump) that have it out for Ukraine and want to do business with Russia.
Well, Trump kinda is the military, legally speaking.
And he's been managing media psyops his entire career.
Some people see the used car salesman's tactics. Some don't.
Either way, the back office most likely did the math.
No car salesman is an island.
"Flood the zone. Create confusion in all parties."
"See who breaks and what matters."
"Negotiate."
Thats what seems to make sense here.
Sometimes its random, sometimes its not.
