Nevermind, found it finally:

”This raises a potential conflict of interest, as Musk's company was under investigation by USAID shortly before he began calling for the shutdown. Starlink's activity in Eastern Europe has been criticized, with many Russian operatives claiming to have access to Starlink despite Musk's assurances that only Ukraine was using the service.

Additionally, in September last year, Ukrainian forces downed a Russian drone that had a Starlink terminal integrated with its systems, raising questions as to how secure Starlink's operations during the Ukraine war are”


Ok well I wouldn’t believe anything Russia is saying about Starlink as far as I could throw them. Russia and especially their military is a propaganda machine, I’m assuming everything they say is a lie at baseline. And my assumption about what Ukraine military says isn’t much better, remember the Ghost of Kyiv?

Does a starlink terminal mean starlink access too? And how would USAID determine this? Shouldn’t it be investigated by our military tech?

/shrug, at least I found the investigation though
I think there is a pretty heavy astroturfing campaign to make it seem like trump is going to cut everything from everything and not just audit and shut down the corrupt stuff. Im sure there will be aid going out to places.

It's not like we had the SS mass deportations the media said we were going to have.
