" . . . for U.S. intelligence."
Yeah. Sure. Right. Musk will sell Intelligence to ANYONE who pays for it and US taxpayers will foot the entire bill for constructing the satellite network.
And then all the contractors and politicians will all pretend to be surprised by this and Musk will get the finger-wagging of a lifetime.
