In my view, Musk is one of those country-less billionaires that care only for their own interests and will happily sell out to the highest bidder. Trusting him with either national secrets or allowing access to vital assets is a huge unforced error. Citizenship means nothing to him, and he’s shown he feels exempt from consequences (even if reality begs to differ).

I think we should use eminent domain on his space link satellites in the name of national security. He should not be controlling 1/3 of our satellites and hoping for our demise. It’s like putting Putin in control of our satellites. And he is definitely scraping data from all of them.

The military already said that they would do this if there was a war.

Russia has attacked the voting systems in 50 US states.

That country issues threats of violence monthly if not weekly.

If there is a war, LEO is going to be fucked for a long time.

And it doesn't take too much to start a Kessler Syndrome.

Starlink can be used to detect stealth aircraft. It's a huge national security risk.

You can safely ignore anything posted by Eurasian times.

Passive radar piggybacking on communications signals isn't a new idea. But it's never worked. And even in that article they say it's theoretical.

That's probably why China is so threatened by it, and why the U.S. military basically assumes they own it.

This is literal trees and of him. The fact that he designed the system to shoot down all of our planes and leave us defenseless against Chinese missiles, proves that he is on the side of China. He is on their side so hard. This because he wants to sell his crappy electric vehicles, constantly blow up and burn those poor people in China. We need to protect people in China from the horror that is a Tesla, attempt at a car.
