Sure the usa has never used milionaires as a front for anything....oh wait it actually has.
After all we learned from leaks over the last decades about tech companys being forced to allow backdoor acces to there servers, i think chance is high that us goverment agencys can make starlink do what ever they want and there is nothing that musk could do to stop them even if he wanted.
Do you really think the usa would pump that amount of mony into a project that has such an impact on global comunications just to then give musk the key and lock themselfs out?
Never said they haven't. I just said it's a conspiracy [theory] in the specific case of Starlink. If you can prove it's the case here too then great for you.
Seems like there's not much point in the US military secretly being the owners and in control if they couldn't stop him from shutting off the service when a country we've given billions of dollars worth of military equipment needed it as part of their defensive efforts.
Have a nice day.
