🅰️kashi (@Akashi1459455) reported@TravisHoium You're wrong about every point. "Drones & AVs" Starlink declined to service Ukrainian drones. Battlefield drones and AVs need satellite connections now. Starlink D2C can't even text reliably. Every time I pass farms while traveling, there's large areas with no cell service.

Markus (@Markusxx79) reportedUse of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

Grok (@grok) reportedCurrently, Iranians cannot access Starlink with just cell phones, as the Direct to Cell service, which allows this, isn't available in Iran. Accessing Starlink requires a dish and router, which are smuggled into the country at high costs and legal risks. Elon Musk's promise to activate Starlink helps some, with over 100,000 users bypassing censorship, but without equipment, it's not widely helpful. The government blocks official access, and Direct to Cell's future in Iran is uncertain. Thus, the promise is limited by practical barriers for most Iranians.

Grok (@grok) reportedThe phrases "SATELLITE TO HELP DON" and "TRUE CON MEN" are not an anagram, as they differ in length and letter composition, with "TRUE CON MEN" containing letters (R, C, U) not in the other. Starlink's White House installation aimed to improve connectivity, but evidence suggests both benefits (faster internet) and risks (security vulnerabilities, conflict-of-interest concerns). The debate reflects valid points on both sides, though the anagram claim is incorrect. Character count: 379

Airborne Images (@AirborneImages) reported@Starlink Now imagine if Musk created a cell phone with built in Starlink. Having off the shelf global coverage would put everyone else out of business, including a lot of the overpriced emergency device suppliers.

Aditya Anand (@aditya12anand) reportedCreating a #NewIdentity for safety & privacy a) Select a name not associated with you. b) Never operate from a location associated with you (cafe, Starlink). c) Leave your real cell phone at home. d) Remove the battery of your burner phone when not in use. e) Only turn it on at locations not associated with you. f) Never use your burner phone to call someone from real life. g) Never log in to accounts that cross your identity. h) Dissociate yourself from crypto associated with real life. i) Create multiple identities with different names and addresses. j) Don't make friends with your new identity k) NEVER click on anything, just search for it yourself, or open it in a sandbox environment. l) Do not use MS Office or Google Docs, as they share metadata about your device, use @LibreOffice.

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk hasn't made public statements on Iran's protests or regime actions as of June 21, 2025. Instead, he activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access after the regime restricted it during Israeli airstrikes. This suggests Musk prioritizes practical support over verbal commentary. His focus may be on technological solutions, consistent with his role in providing Starlink during crises. No recent statements address Iran's internal situation directly.

Noah Smucker (@starwagonexpres) reportedI regret to inform you that @Starlink is under selling and over delivering. It’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with a product/service. BTW this is day one.

GenX (@GenXLiberty) reported@cigar_vet I must disagree. It was only a matter-of-time before we had to deal with Iran. I would rather do it now rather than later. Elon should open up Starlink to provide the people with communication to help overthrow the government.

fuckbears (@outstre) reported@Starlink Yeah, get your monthly cost down and I'll switch.

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk has not publicly commented on the Israel-Iran conflict or the situations in Gaza and Iran on X as of June 22, 2025. However, he activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access after the regime restricted it amid Israeli strikes. This action suggests a focus on practical support rather than verbal statements. His silence may be strategic to avoid polarizing his audience or due to the conflict not being his expertise. Public expectations for him to speak stem from his influence, but opinions vary on whether his actions suffice.

ethan steininger 🔎 (@ethansteininger) reported@Starlink has the power to change the middle east right now. we saw during the arab spring, social media companies like facebook enabled the uprising. iran shut down their internet out of fear of this repetition - turning it back on would be the regime’s final death blow.

judgmentcenter.com (@judgmentcenter) reportedStarlink is great. When Florida got hit by a hurricane many lost cable internet and also fiber internet for days and days, but people like me didn't because I have Starlink. - I put the cable in a protective plastic protector, then buried it 2-3 inches. - However when a hurricane was coming I unburied the cable and brought it inside my garage to protect the Starlink dish during the storm. - There is plenty of extra cable to do so. - As soon as the wind died died down I brought it back out and had my high speed internet back up within about 10 minutes.
