The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party sent a letter on Saturday to SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk demanding that U.S. troops stationed in Taiwan get access to SpaceX’s Starshield, a satellite communication network designed specifically for the military.
The letter, obtained by CNBC and first reported by Forbes, claimed that by not making Starshield available to U.S. military forces in Taiwan, SpaceX could violate its Pentagon contract, which requires “global access” to Starshield technology.
US military should build its own damn starlink as a matter of national security
You are correct, but if they try it’ll just get diverted and used to feed the oligarchs.
I’d rather the U.S. government just seize all of the muskrat’s businesses and nationalize them.
Something something military industrial complex
They are working on it, but it’s slow to develop something like that.
