RE: Neutrino shield idea

I say any massless particle that has a charge supporting a Coulomb force
must travel at the speed of light or faster because the Coulomb force
travels at the speed of light and a charged massless particle will be
repelled by its own Coulomb force.

Who says? Any massless particle will travel at the speed of light.
