SpaceX Stock at $147.49 as Starlink Speeds Restored in Ukraine

SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) closed at $147.49 on the latest session, while Starlink speeds for Ukraine’s military were restored after more than a week of restrictions. Elon Musk said he was behind the limits and accused Kyiv of violating Starlink’s terms of service.

Key points

• Forbes puts Elon Musk’s net worth at $922.9 billion on October 25 after SpaceX closed at $147.49 and Tesla at $372.22, according to FinanceFeeds.
• Ukraine’s access to Starlink and Starshield was restored to prior speeds, President Zelenskyy said, after restrictions that disrupted front-line operations for more than a week.
• Musk said he was behind the restriction and accused Ukraine of using Starlink for drone strikes.
• Musk backed NASA’s plan to land astronauts on the Moon by 2028 with a short post on X.
• A video listing reports SpaceX’s 116th Falcon 9 flight of 2026, with a successful landing.

What happened with Starlink in Ukraine?

On October 24, Zelenskyy announced that Starlink service had returned to full speed for Ukrainian military operations. He wrote on X that “the speeds are now where they need to be,” and said restoration began overnight. Ukraine’s defence minister said on Saturday that the military had regained full use of Starlink links for drones and other fast-moving equipment. Ukrainian officials had said the speed limits disrupted front-line operations for more than a week.

The restoration came alongside Musk’s public comments. According to one report, he accused Ukraine on Saturday of violating Starlink’s terms of service by using it for “drone strikes to kill people.” The same report describes tension between Washington and Kyiv over the disruptions to the network. Sputnik reports Musk saying the loophole was shut last week. That outlet’s framing should be read with caution, and the provided sources do not include a detailed SpaceX statement on the policy itself.

GuruFocus also covered Musk addressing the throttling of Starlink and Starshield. The available summaries do not say what terms or technical measures were involved, or whether the restrictions could return.

Why does it matter for investors?

Starlink’s role in a live conflict ties a commercial network to government and military relationships. The episode shows that SpaceX can change service performance for a major customer, and that such decisions draw political attention. The sources do not quantify any revenue effect from Ukraine, and none should be assumed. The stock closed at $147.49 per FinanceFeeds, but the sources do not link that price to the Ukraine news. The GuruFocus headlines say the stock “reflects growth expectations,” which is a generic framing rather than evidence of cause.

Moon plans and launch cadence

Musk endorsed NASA’s plan to put astronauts on the lunar surface by 2028, writing “Back to the Moon” on X after NASA unveiled the plan. The summary does not detail SpaceX’s contractual role, so no revenue or schedule conclusions follow from it.

On operations, a video post lists a Starlink launch on the 116th Falcon 9 flight of 2026, with a landing. That source is a video aggregator post, not an official SpaceX count, so treat the number as reported rather than confirmed.

What does the Musk net worth figure say?

FinanceFeeds, citing Forbes, puts Musk at $922.9 billion, with scenario levels of $1,018 billion and $876 billion tied to Fed week. Those are the site’s scenarios, not forecasts we can verify. Musk’s wealth moves with both SpaceX and Tesla shares, so the figure is a rough gauge of sentiment toward both companies.
