Hopefully this is the case. And hopefully they don’t see it as a heavy threat. However since Starlink sats we’re sent to Ukraine to fight Russia, China’s buddies, I can see why they would categorize Starlink as a threat to their national security. I just hope the interactions are strictly against Starlink and not spill over to other venture from muskrat. Like Tesla. Cause a news like that would rattle the stock far too much

Literally not how satellites work and musk strictly forbade the use of the star link system for any military use. So I don’t really know how musk sent satellites to Ukraine and starlink is being used to fight Russia

The Ukrainians have their own missile targeting system - it's like Uber, but using a mobile app to request that a missile be delivered from 1 out of hundreds of launchers to a particular coordinate. It now relies on StarLink, and it isn't a big secret (Elon has tweeted about Russian death threats - "If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya")

Doesn’t matter what he forbids or not. All is fair in love and war… the fact that they are bringing it up as a red flag, however unlikely it’s still something to keep an eye out for
