Musk cuestiona un informe sobre el uso militar de Starlink en Irán

Elon Musk ha refutado un informe de Reuters sobre las negociaciones de precios de SpaceX con el Pentágono respecto a las terminales satelitales en drones militares que operan en la guerra de Irán. Musk afirmó que el relato era falso, pero confirmó un uso inapropiado de la red comercial Starlink.

SpaceX y los funcionarios del Pentágono han discrepado sobre las tarifas del servicio satelital Starshield durante el conflicto de Irán. Reuters informó que SpaceX solicitó 25.000 dólares mensuales por cada conexión en los drones del Sistema de Ataque de Combate No Tripulado de bajo costo, frente a la tarifa anterior de 5.000 dólares. El Pentágono finalmente aceptó el aumento, según el informe publicado el 26 de mayo.
