The world’s richest man and one of the world’s greatest minds, Elon Musk, turned on Starlink for Iranians after the brutal Islamic regime cut off internet service. This comes following the waves of Israeli attacks on the Islamic regime.
Starlink gives internet service to people where internet is hard to get, like in remote areas or people suffering from a natural disaster or war.

Nice to see Elon is back on his meds.

As if these decisions are his instead of his Deep State handler/sponsors.
Time to buy stock in PornHub and OnlyFans.
The brutal regime fears its own people...
Probably get a good ROI buying GoatHub.
HOORAY Elon!
I wonder if Starlink could transmit computer viruses into Iran....
Nah...crazy science fiction.
Lol.
Ha!
That tells us all we need to know about the powers that be in Iran.
Exactly.
Not much good Elon if no earth stations there to connect
He apologized...and so...let's move on.
God bless Elon. The people of Iran must act NOW. I pray they have the courage to do so.
If I understand correctly, Musk can “turn on” Starlink access over Iran, but it still requires a Starlink receiver (Dishy) and power on the ground to use. It doesn’t magically bypass the need for hardware—and, in Iran, that hardware is illegal and has to be smuggled in.
And if they have it, how did the gov't cut it off?
Starlink could connect to temporary Earth stations set up inside Iran by Israeli commandos.
That is just one example of how it could work.
I can think of a few others as well.
Once it is connected with the interior Iran network at any point—good to go.
“Starlink requires special hardware for internet. How many have that in Iran?
And if they have it, how did the gov’t cut it off?”
Fairly easy for the Israelis to just fly over and start dropping the hardware.
See post 17.
All you need is one point in the network.
Once viruses are in the network they are good to go.
People in Iran somehow get information quickly. Within minutes of Trump’s advice on Truthsocial to abandon Tehran, there was a sudden exodus out of the city. Underscores that the Iranian people will believe Trump far more than their own overlords.
