Musk ordered Starlink slowdown in Ukraine: WSJ

What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on the Wall Street Journal’s reporting that Elon Musk ordered a slowdown affecting Starlink service linked to Ukraine. The Hill adds that the military version is Starshield and says Ukraine said the slowdown hampered its ability to respond to Russian attacks, while Bloomberg Technology frames the coverage more generally as a slowdown of the satellite system and says it came from Musk himself.
