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)
I hate the idea of arguing in Musk’s favor, but Starlink use by Russians has generally been achieved by them obtaining foreign terminals.
And every single Starlink terminal is GPS traced to within 15 feet. Starlink does not work without exact GPS data on every terminal to direct the phased array antennas.
They know what terminals Russia have been using. They’ve always known.
