Is Musk next in the crosshairs after Huang Renxun? U.S. Democrats demand retention of Starlink speed limitation records

Odaily Planet Daily News: Two Democratic U.S. Senators have formally written to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, urging him to retain all records regarding restrictions on Ukraine's use of the Starlink and Starshield systems. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Chris Coons expressed concern over Ukraine's restricted access to these systems in October and November, warning that such 'gaps' could potentially exist in systems relied upon by the U.S. government, raising serious questions about SpaceX's control over critical communication infrastructure vital to national security. They have requested Musk provide written documentation by November 30 confirming that 'all appropriate protective measures have been implemented.' Starshield, developed by SpaceX, is the military version of the Starlink system, primarily serving U.S. government and military needs. Since October, Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly reported that aircraft equipped with Starshield terminals lose connectivity when exceeding 160 km/h, disrupting multiple military operations. Musk stated that Starshield is controlled by the U.S. government, with speed or usage limitations determined by the U.S. military and ultimately dependent on President Trump. Trump denied any involvement in the speed restrictions. (WSJ)
