Elon Musk says the US government owns and controls Starshield systems and "any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS" (Elon Musk/@elonmusk)

Elon Musk stated that the US government owns and controls Starshield systems, noting that any limits regarding usage or speed are decided by the US military and ultimately the President. While Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX, its usage is restricted to defensive or civilian activities.

In India, Jagran has urged the Union government to deny Starlink permission to launch commercial satellite broadband services due to national security concerns. SJM national co-convenor Ashwani Mahajan stated that internet services sometimes require suspension during riots, terrorism-related incidents, or other law-and-order situations to prevent the spread of inflammatory content and rumors. The organization questioned if Starlink technology would allow authorities to restrict services in specific areas.

Separately, Elon Musk’s semiconductor production company, Terafab, is expected to receive its first EUV lithography tool in the middle of next year. According to Tom's Hardware, while Musk has praised free electron laser light sources, the company's first-generation efforts will utilize more traditional equipment. Additionally, Musk used the xAI agent Grok Bot to research and order five Lego Star Wars sets totaling $241.34, according to Mashable.
