Now Russia and China want to whack Musk…

[LibWhacker]

Yup... And the Dems. I hope to Heaven he can avoid all the bullets that’ll be coming his way!

“Now Russia and China want to whack Musk…”

What about Musk’s ties with the CCP?

[Chainmail]

Now, that is funny! China having an open and free internet not controlled by the Party?

Goodbye Xi..

They were counting on killing a half-dozen to a dozen US military COMSATs.

Now Musk has already got hundreds if not thousands up, and their war strategy is toast.

[DoughtyOne]

Poor China and Russia.

They just can’t be happy unless the rest of the planet
rolls over and allows them to tattoo their state motto
on their chest.

Swarms of small satellites, too many to shoot down, can be a major problem if you want to deprive your opponent of satcom capabilities.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I would imagine there are other capabilities created by SpaceX that we don't even know about, perhaps classified.

Now launch StarShip already! I hope the politically corrupt FAA gets out of Elon's way but his Twitter move has triggered Team Biden's wrath, hence the FAA's wrath against him.

The ChiComs don't have the capability to shoot down a hundred satellites, let alone 12,000 and growing to 42,000. I think the ChiComs and NASA have been humbled and humiliated by private enterprise and a brilliant man with a vision. Suck it Xi!

COMMS isn’t the only thing done in space for the military.

[McGruff]

Elon Musk did not kill himself.

[9YearLurker]

But many Freepers still think Musk is just an eccentric genius—and not a Deep State front-man/operative.

[SteelPSUGOP]

Free enterprise whips the military industrial complex.....of Russia, China and the US.

Musk might be the greatest scientist ever.

MUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSKKKKK

“ Swarms of small satellites, too many to shoot down, can be a major problem if you want to deprive your opponent of satcom capabilities.”

No it’s not. Laser beam shots that both Russia and China have will do the job.

A combination of Starlink and an Uber-like app is being used by Ukraine artillery in a way that is extremely difficult for Russia to counter.

Ukraine also uses Starlink for their drone fleet, and the US Army has been testing Starlink for tactical networks. Russia and China not happy.

The Starlink satellites are mobile, capable of detecting objects on a collision path, and can readjust their orbits with their own thrusters. China would be playing whack-a-mole and fail. Plus SpaceX can constantly send more Starlink satellites to space as replacements (as they currently do, after instructing faulty satellites to deorbit).
