Who Should Control Starlink in a War?

Scott Galloway says one person who was not elected should not be able to throttle Starlink or Starshield in a war. His comparison is Charles Lindbergh buying McDonnell Douglas and then cutting the guidance on planes sent to defend an ally, with London left exposed. He says that is the shape of Elon Musk slowing Starlink so Ukraine could not launch defensive drones, the ally weakened, and civilians dead.

If that is what happened, he says he would call Musk a traitor to the West, and that the government is at fault for leaving the switch with a private citizen. He thinks the admission landed this week because lawyers expect a hearing in Congress, where lying again would be worse, and because the midterms are noisy enough to bury the story. Kara Swisher agrees it would be the biggest scandal of any other decade.
