Former U.S. administrations have requested Elon Musk to activate or deactivate Starlink services to support foreign policy goals. Biden's administration sought to block access for Iranian-backed groups while expanding services in Iran and Ukraine. Trump's administration also discussed activating Starlink in Iran to aid anti-government protests. The reliance on a private company for geopolitical objectives raises concerns about individual influence on national security decisions. Recent restrictions on Starlink's use by Ukraine have prompted calls for Europe to develop its own satellite communication capabilities. Musk stated that Starshield's control lies with the U.S. government, and any service limitations are determined by the military and the president.
