I haven't heard anyone claiming starlink is a threat to security, Chinese or otherwise. It was criticised for polluting space with lots of worthless satellites.He has always been part of establishment. Why china says starlink is threath to Chinese security ?
He activated starlink in Iran , remember Iran also have tough laws regarding internet, but you can bypass them by providing stralink set up box and it's hard to know the location. They are going to do this sh*t when America bans all of the American tech companies from china . Some kind of big protest can happen in china within few years and that's why even Chinese government are trying everything to counter starlink and even banned Tesla from government organisations . USA is a very cunning country, they use all of their tech companies for surveillance and starlink is going to be a big asset for 5th generation war fare already it was very useful in Ukraine.
He clearly is part of the establishment, and even has security clearance thanks to SpaceX. However a lot of stuff he's said has put a target on his back. Wanting free speech on twitter being the primary one. Because of his business interests, he can't really be anti-China.
I think he will be taken down, but it'll be interesting to see how it happens.
