    It’s an Elon company so that checks out…

    What doesn’t check out is why the government still gave them a new contract between this and Starlink and SpaceX colluding with the Russian military against Ukraine

      The US government is getting something out of the deal they’re not talking about. Probably CALEA-like access to what’s going across the Starlink network.

      AFAIK, Starlink didn’t “collude” with anyone, they just stopped offering free service. I think that was a jerk move, but I doubt there’s any kind of political collusion.
