It obviously came from Trump via Musk.
Ukraine has been striking Russian refineries, reducing global diesel supply which is already being squeezed by the stupid war in Iran.
Musk gains nothing from disabling Starlink for strike missions inside of Russia. Trump absolutely does benefit from them since his admin is bearing the blame of invading Iran and it’s killing him in the midterms.
Sorry, how is it “obvious” ?
How do we know they didn’t collaborate ?
A. Look at incentives, Musk gets massive blowback from this, gains literally nothing from it. Trump does gain from this, and does have control over Starshield and specifically how Starlink is used in Ukraine.
B. There's plenty of reporting that the White House gave the order:

>Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House, sources say
Sounds like Musk has admitting it was him.
