    Probably not for the reason you think.

    Like, it wouldn’t be patched into anything official

    But it means Musk knew where that ship was 24/7, and I’m pretty sure that’s why Ukraine’s military stopped using it. Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements.

        What?

        Surface ships are in constant communication with stuff…

        You can’t just find a signal in the middle of the ocean. Musk can find a starlink signal tho, because he can see what Starlink connects to and it’s gps location.

          Uh, this was the primary way the Allies defeated the U-Boats in WWII.
