"US Lawmaker Urges Musk to Supply Starshield Defense to Taiwan"

Congressman Mike Gallagher is pressuring Elon Musk to provide SpaceX's Starshield satellite network to US defense personnel in Taiwan, citing contractual obligations and the need to safeguard US interests in the Indo-Pacific region. The request comes amid increasing pressure and aggression from China towards Taiwan, and Musk's significant business ties in China may influence his response. The letter also called on Musk to brief a select panel regarding Starshield's capabilities in Taiwan by March 8.
