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)

    Nobody believes that. Musk has entered the arena as a belligerent and should be treated accordingly.

    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.

    He doesn’t have “ethics”…he just has contracts with both sides in every conflict. He’s probably looking at liability issues, that could cost him a lot of business.

    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.

    Lol.

    As usual musk plays the role of pretending that starlink is a civilian network and non totaly planed and funded by the DoD from the start.

    He is nothing more than the sock puppet the DoD put on state so the world would let allow the usa to bild the biggest military project ever done in space without the world complaining to much about it.
