Musk bantah laporan tentang penggunaan Starlink untuk militer di Iran

Elon Musk telah menantang laporan Reuters mengenai pembicaraan harga SpaceX dengan Pentagon terkait terminal satelit pada drone militer yang beroperasi di perang Iran. Musk menyebut laporan tersebut salah, namun mengonfirmasi adanya penggunaan jaringan komersial Starlink yang tidak semestinya.

SpaceX dan pejabat Pentagon berselisih mengenai biaya layanan satelit Starshield selama konflik di Iran. Reuters melaporkan bahwa SpaceX meminta $25.000 per bulan untuk setiap koneksi pada drone Low-cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System, naik dari tarif sebelumnya sebesar $5.000. Pentagon pada akhirnya menyetujui kenaikan tersebut, menurut laporan yang diterbitkan pada 26 Mei.
