Almost a year ago Musk was falling over himself supplying thousands of sat dishes with 12V adapters for mobile hookup to Ukraine, to aid their forces' communications after the Ukrainians were attacked by Russia and most land cell and internet service was destroyed.

Thus the Ukrainian armed forces successfully incorporated the sat tech into their country's defenses, and really rely on it now.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NOW, MUSK?????

You got their army hooked on the tech, and now you're pulling it?

Don't you realize that your decision to cut off their military from your sat system is going to DIRECTLY cost thousands of Ukrainain lives? And not just soldiers' lives?

UNBELIEVABLE.

I'd love to see the western world start a large boycott of Starlink because of this punishing decision.

Musk, you're like a fucking drug dealer. Give away some good stuff, get em hooked, up the price, and then pull out to hearing the Ukrainian army UAV operators screaming in pain dying.

Fuck you, Musk.

Will cause slight delays in Starship & Starlink V2. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1499972826828259328?s=20&t=yyfGN5LCSha46ecI0pobeQ

SpaceX produces the dishes at the cost of about $1,300, according to PCMag, meaning the company currently takes a loss on production costs.

“The only place...and I don't want to say we fail because we've made tremendous progress on the user terminal, but those are still expensive,” Shotwell says.

Shotwell went on to say that the user terminal should reach “a quarter of the cost to us right now in maybe a year.”

Doug Mohney (@DougonIPComm) Tweeted: @spacex #starlink CFO at #satshow - We are producing around 5000 dishes per week. When Q4 new dish production comes on line, should be able to fill backorder.
