Musk says drones used Starlink instead of Starshield, blames military contractor.

When Elmo discovered that his network was used for killing people he immediately shitted this:

It is a violation of commercial Starlink terms of service to use the terminal for weapon systems. This applies to all users and is shut down when discovered

OMG he has ethics? Don’t use his tech for weapon systems? But then he continues to shit this on his shitter account:

There is a separate network called Starshield [that costs $25k/month/drone]

Ohhh i misunderstood him.

He’s not pissed because the Pentagon used his tech for bombing schools, he’s pissed because the Pentagon didn’t pay for the special military use license at 250x the normal rate.

Deport this foreign asset to the cecot and redistribute his wealth

(IMHO this is more tech than news, but the mods disagreed, so I post again in news)

    • US military is using starlink to target weapons
    • There is no way that they will stop doing that
    • In every conflict from now on everybody who has to fight against the USA and wants a chance to survive needs to disable Starlink
    • We saw with Russia that every major power needs its own network under its own control. You can’t wage a war when the USA is able to shut down your access
    • In such a war, the USA needs to destroy the enemy constellation
    • Kessler syndrome will happen in our lifetime

      Shooting down those satellites is so easy even a dog in Nebraska could do it.

      Iran has been fighting well enough by working around Starlink. Plus, the easiest way to disable it is by jamming frequencies.
