> Elon has already shown that he’ll mess with Starlink out of spite

Are you referring to the supposed shutting down of Starlink over Crimea during a Ukrainian operation? That was misinformation and never happened. The US government has control over Starlink in several different ways and you can be sure that if they really needed it turned on or off in any specific area they could have it done immediately.

Thanks! I forgot that that part was from the book by Musk and Isaacson and is clarified shortly thereafter. I’ve updated my comment to reflect the actual impact (which I still don’t agree with)

The power to grant is almost always the power to deny or even take away
