We know that DoD is paying for Starlink service in Ukraine, but there are no public details of the contract. Not sure how paying for a service is a subsidy.
“Opposing Autocracy” is an interesting choice of words, since everyone who’s up in arms about this is implying that the government should force a private company to participate in any war on whatever terms they dictate. Freedom isn’t easy, sometimes people and companies do stuff you don’t like, but I we want a working democracy you have to give them that liberty or else loose your own eventually.
That’s a lot of word gymnastics for saying “he can change the deal whenever he feels like it”. Even if it’s pro-bono.
Look at it this way: Elon lives in the west. The west is tasked with promoting and supporting democracies and opposing autocracy.
Especially if the service in question was paid for by subsidies.
