Trump Confirms Musk Restored Starlink in Ukraine

Original version ·

Modern geopolitics hits peak weird when front-line connectivity hangs on two billionaires chatting over the phone.

When reporters cornered Donald Trump about rumors that he personally rang up Elon Musk to unthrottle internet for Ukrainian troops, the former reality star went full mystery mode. He flat-out refused to say whether he made the call, but made sure everyone heard the punchline: Musk actually flipped the switch back on.

Reports had leaked earlier that SpaceX slapped speed limits on Ukraine's military connections until somebody high up intervened. Trump brushed off the logistics with a classic wave, saying it doesn't matter who dialed whose number because the gear is working again.

Strategic national defense in the 21st century coming down to who has the richest eccentric on speed dial is quite the geopolitical system.
