Elon Musk Ordered Last Week’s Starlink Slowdown

P.M. Edition for Oct. 20. The Wall Street Journal is exclusively reporting that the decision to cap the Starlink speeds (wsj.com/world/ukraine-starlink-elon-musk-trump…), rendering some of Ukraine’s drones useless, came from Musk. Plus, a new draft prospectus (wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-revenue-growth-ipo-a…) ahead of Anthropic’s IPO shows that the company has red-hot revenue growth. But WSJ tech reporter Anissa Gardizy (wsj.com/news/author/anissa-gardizy?mod=WSJ_WNPOD) tells us it also has high compute costs and a long list of risks. And a bipartisan group of former U.S. officials is urging Congress to pass an energy bill (wsj.com/politics/policy/u-s-risks-losing-tech-…) that they say is critical for countering China. We hear from WSJ reporter Benoit Morenne (wsj.com/news/author/benoit-morenne?mod=WSJ_WNPOD) about why the midterms are teeing up a fight over the bill’s future. Alex Ossola hosts.
