Musk says US military suicide drones used Starlink in violation of SpaceX rules

Reuters says SpaceX and the Pentagon clashed over pricing for Starshield on LUCAS attack drones.

Musk said the drones had been set up with civilian Starlink, not Starshield, which he said violated SpaceX policy.

He blamed a contractor for the misconfiguration and said military use should have gone through the approved service.

The dispute underscores broader tensions over battlefield satellite connectivity, fees, and civilian systems being used for weapons.
