Zelensky doesn’t even know the difference between Starshield and Starlink. Accusing publicly to blame people being killed because this? Can someone like this lead a country? Get out, Zelensky!
Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.
Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Elon Musk responds to claims that SpaceX restricted Ukraine's access to its satellite internet:
"Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.
Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company."
👍🏽
The actual facts about SpaceX in Ukraine:
- SpaceX is a private company with zero obligation to help Ukraine, yet it stepped up when governments dragged their feet.
- Starlink and Starshield are not the same. Starshield is under U.S. government control. That is who made last night’s call.
- Ukraine accounts for only a micro fraction of SpaceX’s revenue, while the company bears the risks of operating amid Russian attacks and geopolitical pressure. The financial return hardly justifies the exposure. SpaceX helps because it chooses to. Starshield access, meanwhile, is up to the US government.
- SpaceX has every right to set limits on how its technology is used. They own it and bear consequences for it. This is while they actively collaborate to take down Russian access to Starlink that threatens to collapse Ukraine.
- Throwing tantrums over not getting all your demands, including offensive use, or simply because Elon disagrees with you, while SpaceX risks its assets to help, says plenty about your character.
- Demanding a company be nationalized so you can just take its product is the loudest confession that you cannot build anything. You can only steal.
- Europeans should try to build their own. As a space fan, I'd celebrate it.
- I don't care about the politics. But attacking the company that stepped up when it had no obligation to help is pathetic.
The truth is, without Starlink saving Ukrainian communication in the early days, their reality would have severly looked very different today, and they should be grateful.

$MU just demonstrated world’s first 512GB DDR5 server module which can push a 24 slot server to 12TB of memory while cutting power by more than 60%.
$AMD and $INTC are already validating it as AI workloads demand more memory per server with Micron saying the goal is to “keep larger datasets closer to the compute engines that need them.”

$AAPL Tim Cook on $MU's $10 billion US-based Micron Research Labs Investment.
“For more than two decades, Micron has been an important partner, providing memory technologies for Apple's groundbreaking products that people love and use every day around the world. With the launch of Micron Research Labs, they are building on a legacy of leadership in semiconductor research to drive breakthroughs in memory and computing for decades to come. Apple believes deeply in American innovation, and we’re proud to support Micron as it expands leading-edge manufacturing and R&D in the United States.” -Tim Cook

Wow
OpenAI HR told Leopold that a major reason for his firing was the memo he'd sent the board warning how broken OAI's security was.
What happened next makes me even prouder to call him a friend.
People may have forgotten, but up until 2024, OpenAI had this secret non-disparagement clause in their off-boarding agreement. If you didn’t sign it, they'd clawback all your equity.
As far as I'm aware, there were only two people ever who didn’t sign it - @DKokotajlo, and Leopold Aschenbrenner.
Of all the researchers who left OpenAI before 2024, who had far more to fall back on, Leopold, all of 22 years old, was one of the only ones willing to refuse the golden handcuffs, and say, "I want to preserve my right to talk about safety and security at OAI.”
We have a lot of disagreements, but he's among the most principled and resilient people I know.

🚨 SHOCKING: In New York A Muslim man screams “Allahu Akbar” and throws his bag in the New York subway.
Instant panic People immediately start running in fear for their lives. Understandably so, it could very we’be a bomb.
He just stands there, thinking it’s funny. Then he wonders why no other religious group causes this level of fear and anxiety.
He later claimed it was all just a prank to ‘EXPOSE ISLAMOPHOBIA.’

I just know Sanjay (CEO Micron $MU) is having the best laugh of his life now. In 2022/2023, Apple $AAPL was squeezing $MU out for cheap memory during the downcycle, even below Micron's average cost.
3 years later, the roles are reversed and Apple $AAPL is getting a taste of its own medicine from the Memory Big 3 (Samsung, SK hynix and Micron).
Apple $AAPL went to CXMT to request DRAM for lower prices, only to get rejected by CXMT. They demand atleast the same prices as Samsung and SK hynix, if not higher.
Also, the entire bearcase of CXMT flooding the market with cheap memory is becoming more and more pointless.

🚨BREAKING: Iran says they have agreed to end their nuclear program and leaving the Strait of Hormuz alone.
Trump responds: The U.S. is "locked and loaded at levels not seen since WWII, but will hold off the attack if the deal is rapidly finalized!"
"The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" President DONALD J. TRUMP
