Report: Musk ordered Starlink slowdown in Ukraine, then blamed it on Trump
Musk and Trump both denied ordering Starlink slowdown. WSJ reports it was Musk.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center the WSJ report about a Starlink slowdown in Ukraine and the denials around it, with Ars Technica saying both Musk and Trump denied ordering it. CNBC foregrounds Trump’s denial and quotes him saying he was not involved, while The Hill frames the story as a WSJ report that Musk ordered “restrraints” and adds a separate, unrelated item in its episode line-up.
