Is Elon Musk or Trump behind Ukraine's internet issue for its defenses?

Oct 15, 2026

On Wednesday's "The Daily Take": NewsNation's Connell McShane and Geraldo Rivera discuss Ukraine's claim that the internet service it uses for defenses, provided by Starshield — the military version of Starlink — had been slowed. Elon Musk took to X, saying Starshield is owned and controlled by the U.S. military and "ultimately POTUS." Rivera says he hopes President Trump has not ordered for service to be slowed to show Putin that the U.S. is serious about the energy ceasefire.
