[SpaceX Clashes with U.S. Department of Defense, Raises Starlink Prices Amid Iran War]
Reported by Golden Finance, on May 26, as the "Starlink" network under Elon Musk began to demonstrate significant effectiveness in guiding U.S. suicide drones during the war in Iran, SpaceX executives reached a conclusion: the Pentagon should pay higher fees for satellite Wi-Fi network usage. According to two informed sources and Pentagon documents, weeks after the U.S. launched bombing operations, SpaceX executives met with Pentagon officials and argued that the military is currently paying approximately $5,000 per terminal connection, but is actually utilizing a higher-tier service valued at nearly $25,000. Interviews with five informed sources and related documents reveal that the controversy surrounding the use of "Starlink" in "LUCAS" suicide drones is merely a reflection of the increasingly tense relationship between SpaceX and the Pentagon over Starlink pricing in recent months.
