- talldayo 3y agoI am a Starlink customer. I don't love or hate Musk particularly, but when he makes bold claims that foreign leaders are helpless to stop LEO internet I hope he's ready to back that up. In light of recent developments[0] I don't think it's appropriate to assume all adversaries are helpless, and terrorism or not I'd assume Russia feels they have casus belli on Starlink after Musk's clashes with Russian governance and cooperation with NATO allies.

- AnimalMuppet 3y agoSure, go ahead, shoot down a Starlink satellite. There will be another along in a few minutes. Shoot down every one that passes over country X? Hope you've got a few thousand antisatellite weapons, and you're willing to burn them on this...
