There are a lot of confused people reporting on this issue, leading to poor journalism. Starlink wasn't the service that got degraded; Starshield was. Starlink has never been allowed for offensive military use. Though Starshield shares some infrastructure with Starlink, the critical difference is that while Starlink is a commercial service, Starshield is owned and operated by the US military, not SpaceX.

Hence why Musk was supposedly "asking Trump".

Maybe that's true.

I'm reminded of the old adage: "If I told you to jump off a cliff..." Ultimately, Musk is a civilian - at most, he's a regular buffoon who should keep his nose out of such affairs. Whereas the very idea of a president taking military advice from the aforementioned buffoon isn't just further buffoonery, it's something far greater than that. It's probably not strictly treasonous, but it's got that kind of flavour.
