Can you say with assurance, hopefully with evidence, which entity has degraded service as described?

> Starlink’s Acceptable Use Policy explicitly prohibits

Starlink's AUP is whatever Musk decides it is when he decides. He is petty, and there are robust examples of his pettiness as it relates to X and Starlink (I'm unaware if he's weaponized Tesla vehicle access in this regard, but welcome citations, if they exist).

(if you do not rely on Musk controlled systems, he cannot weaponize them against you; choose your risk exposure accordingly)

Yes- if they were using it for drone attacks and the service stopped/slowed, that was not Starlink, because it never would have happened in the first place.

Before the Model 3 was announced, a curious user poked around his car's network, and found multiple references to it, which he leaked to a news site.

Tesla responded by remotely forcibly downgrading his vehicle's firmware to an older version with no references to the 3 (presumably so he couldn't make any further discoveries), blacklisting his vehicle from getting any firmware upgrades, and to make sure he didn't try to thwart that, disabling the ethernet interface.
