Remember that DOJ wasn't sure they had the voting file at one point.

The DOJ lawyer could not answer Judge Sanchez's question as to how the list was made, and what third party sources were used.

Musk is lying about Ukraine using civilian Starlink on combat drones. Since February, any Starlink terminal operating in motion has needed military Starshield authorization. No Starshield – no connection. Using civilian Starlink on drones was technically impossible. Period.

🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: I wanted the US envoys in Kyiv to visit Bucha. To see the horrific aftermath of Russian occupation and compare it with what Bucha looks like today. I wanted them to see how Ukraine is fighting for life and rebuilding. They didn't find the time.

We are further from peace in Ukraine today than when Trump started negotiating, because he has refused to pressure Moscow and destroyed almost all the leverage he had

Elon Musk has now issued his fourth explanation for his actions in throttling StarLink and StarShield. Note that each of his explanations is inconsistent with its predecessor. And this one focuses on Ukraine supposedly violating its terms of service. If it did, that's an easily ascertainable fact.
