Musk contesta reportagem sobre uso militar da Starlink no Irã

Elon Musk questionou uma reportagem da Reuters sobre negociações de preços da SpaceX com o Pentágono envolvendo terminais de satélite em drones militares operando na guerra do Irã. Musk afirmou que o relato é falso, mas confirmou o uso indevido da rede comercial Starlink.

A SpaceX e funcionários do Pentágono divergiram sobre as taxas do serviço de satélite Starshield durante o conflito no Irã. A Reuters informou que a SpaceX solicitou US$ 25 mil por mês para cada conexão em drones de sistemas de ataque de combate não tripulados de baixo custo, um aumento em relação à taxa anterior de US$ 5 mil. O Pentágono acabou concordando com o aumento, de acordo com a reportagem publicada em 26 de maio.
