Musk’s Starlink Dominance: A National Security Threat?
Is a single company, SpaceX, holding too much power over global communications? The recent clash between Elon Musk and Ukraine has highlighted the downsides of relying on a single provider for satellite internet communications, like Starlink.

However, this dominance comes with concerns over antitrust and security, as well as the potential for Musk to unilaterally shut down communications during a war.
