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 wonder if someone could hack the traffic going to from the drones? Nice man in the middle attack?

    So same exact product, 1000x the cost.

    The US military is designed to sap as much public funds and hand it over to stockholders. it’s a scam that can’t win wars.

    Sure, it’s all stupid, but I DO want to see him pick a fight with Trump again so he can once again back down with his tail between his legs at the braying of a pedophile blob who’s being outnegotiated by a nation a fraction of the size of his own via meme videos.

    • 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

      Kessler syndrome will happen in our lifetime

      Luckily these satellites are in very low, quickly degrading orbits so any cascade of destruction would mostly only take out this and similar networks before burning itself up within a few years.
