Iran War Raises Starlink Prices Amid Dispute Between Pentagon and SpaceX
As U.S. suicide drones guided by Elon Musk's Starlink network began to achieve significant results in the war against Iran, executives at SpaceX concluded that the Pentagon should pay higher fees for using the satellite Wi-Fi network. According to two insiders and Pentagon documents, in the weeks following the U.S. bombing campaign, SpaceX executives met with Pentagon officials and argued that the military was currently paying around $5,000 per terminal connection, but was actually using a higher-tier service worth nearly $25,000. According to interviews with five insiders and relevant documents, the controversy over Starlink's use on the "LUCAS" suicide drone is just one example of the increasingly strained relationship between SpaceX and the Pentagon in recent months over Starlink pricing.
