New details of the previously reported incident underscore how dependent the U.S. government has become on a company that once had to fight in court to become part of the Washington establishment.

If you’re hitting a paywall, here’s a CNN link to the same story: https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/politics/elon-musk-biography-walter-isaacson-ukraine-starlink/index.html

      This but kind of unironically, him doing this makes it much more likely the US government will blow some of its military budget to fund some sort of competitor.

        That would be pretty cool considering they have tons of military budget obviously and more competition is a good thing.

      If Musk doesn’t learn to play ball, the us government might well take control of the tech for the remainder of the war. Geopolitics is the game that is played with all the pieces.
