Musk conteste un rapport sur l'utilisation militaire de Starlink en Iran

Elon Musk a contesté un rapport de Reuters concernant des discussions sur la tarification entre SpaceX et le Pentagone au sujet de terminaux satellites installés sur des drones militaires opérant dans la guerre en Iran. Musk a qualifié le récit de faux, tout en confirmant une utilisation inappropriée du réseau commercial Starlink.

SpaceX et les responsables du Pentagone sont en désaccord sur les frais du service satellite Starshield pendant le conflit en Iran. Reuters a rapporté que SpaceX a demandé 25 000 dollars par mois pour chaque connexion sur les drones du système d'attaque de combat sans pilote à bas coût, contre un tarif précédent de 5 000 dollars. Le Pentagone a finalement accepté l'augmentation, selon le rapport publié le 26 mai.
