Elon hasn't successfully deployed a satellite since March. Over 1200 inactive satellites according to space-track.org and satellitemap.space. Yahoo now reports SpaceX willing to sell shares. (tiblur.com)

SpaceX is a defense contractor. They handle the majority of the United States govts. satellites. They are working with Northrup Grumman. They are definitely a defense contractor.

Fair, bad choice of words on my part. What I was trying to say is that Starlink isn't a government owned asset, it's a commercial product. While it has the potential for defense applications, the government has no reason to pressure them to activate satellites faster than SpaceX want to.
