U.S. lawmakers are calling on Elon Musk to make SpaceX’s Starshield military-specific satellite communications network available to American defense forces in Taiwan after years of refusing to do b…::Musk was told that withholding Starlink satellite internet service in Taiwan could put SpaceX in breach of its “contractual obligations with the U.S. government.”
In what fucking universe is putting secure military communications under the control of a private entity a good idea?
I mean it’s not like putting healthcare or education or other basic social services under private ownership is a good idea either, but that’s where the US seems to be headed.
Imagine in 20 years, the Hobby Lobby Carrier Battle Group will no longer sound absurd.
Particularly the private entity that runs twitter.
