Musk recently caused uproar after he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute during President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities.
That’s probably why, the richest man in the world who could easily hop on a private jet to Germany as easy as it is for me or you to walk down the street, only did a “video appearance”
I’m really surprised they haven’t shot down any Starlink satellites in their airspace. Unidentified or not, Nazi flying objects are illegal in Germany.
Satellites are above individual countries’ airspace, and not many countries have the capability to destroy satellites. Not to mention, Ukraine is relying on starlink for their defence.
Also, destroying a satellite can deal a ton of collateral damage. Starlink isn’t high enough to create a true Kessler Syndrome, but it could still cause big problems.
And during those few months, that whole band around the earth is unusable by any country. If Germany wanted to do something that would hurt Elon, they could just take over their gigafactory and sell Tesla’s with a VW logo on them or something.
Of course that would undermine the rule of law and a bunch of other things within Germany, so it’s not exactly something that would be good in the long term.

Wouldn’t those problems end within a few months since it would all burn up in the atmosphere anyway.

Those satellites are whizzing around earth at 7 kilometers per second. Germans don’t even have the tech to shoot that down.
Have you tried using the Internet in some parts of Germany? We are not going to destroy our last chance for connectivity.
