Excuse my technical ignorance, but exactly HOW could Starlink be used to attack Russia? I thought Starlink was merely a set of satellites that improved internet coverage. And doesn't NATO and the DOD have its own satellites?
I just don't see how Starlink could be used to attack anyone.
Starlink has over 4 THOUSAND active satellites currently. Each one likely has cameras (would be dumb not to) and MAC sniffing technology for cellphones ie it knows where everyone and everything is at all times. To boot, it provides comms to the bad guys. INTEL.
I have believed for a long time that starlink has cameras on it. Would mean they have by far the most up to date imagery (actually, real-time). They have eyes on every square foot of the planet at all times. They know where everything is, and probably Tesla AI is boiling it down to the most important bits.
Musk has dripped a little bit in interviews. We know starlink can see in infrared as well, because elon has spoken about being able to detect data centers from space via their heat signature. They have it ALL
Possibly wanted to frame someone else for it, or contain communications to someone's infrastructure they thought they could trust. Help cut some red tape.
Elon Musk covertly instructed his engineers to deactivate Starlink's satellite communications network during a MAJOR Ukrainian offensive.
This action was taken to intentionally thwart a surprise attack by Ukraine against the Russian naval fleet.
The Ukrainian submarine drones, armed with explosives, mysteriously lost connectivity as they advanced towards the Russian warships.
Now we know that Musk intentionally deactivated Starlink.
Ukrainian officials pleaded for the reactivation of the satellites, however Musk was concerned the attack could trigger a nuclear response from Russia.
This fear was not baseless, as Musk had open discussions with high-ranking Russian officials not long before the attack.
I’ve posted heavily about the dangerous rhetoric from Russia relating to a possible Nuclear attack on Ukraine, with Crimea being considered a Red Line.
No matter which side of the war you’re on, we all want to avoid a nuclear conflict, and @elonmusk’s actions may have prevented just that.
But Elon responds:
The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything.
Nawfal:
The source was CNN referencing Walter Isaacson's biography.
Thank you for clarifying the facts, and glad to see Starlink was not activated in such a contentious territory.
Elon:
There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol.
The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.
If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.
Wow! How dare NATO think they had any authority to request such action!
So glad Elon refused.
They can request all they want. But when refused they should shut the fuck up and respect his decision (which we know they won't)
W9nder when the msm will call musk russian spy now
3, 2, 1 and go.

I doubt a private company like Starlink can legally track where everyone is at all times using their mobile phones. That's NSAs job to spy on us.
It's not about spying on us, it's about spying on them.
Gotcha. Missed your last part of your post
Tracking isnt the need. Cameras to find russian forces would be the play. Then nato would use tuat data to make their plans.
This tells me something about nato power. They have no military satellites over the black sea. Wonder where else they are blind.

They needed the wireless satellite internet connections in the region to coordinate the military.
I'm not certain that it was NATO, or if it was Ukraine that made the request.
From Elon on X:

Shut down their internet connection and the underwater drones are disabled.
My guess?
Starlink + advanced military AI = capabilities we cannot conceive
Yes. Look at the things we can do with machine learning and a 10 year old gaming PC. Beyond imagine what they are capable of

How about "sided with not starting WWIII and blanketing the planet with mass death"

Thank you for this. I can't see all of the exchange on titter. This helps set it straight. ThanQ
So is this a Bond movie?
Elon is Willard White
The WEF is Spectre
Klaus Schwab is Blofeld
Countries and NATO as themselves
Get more popcorn!!!!!
