Elon Musk sure is smart.
I now see it.
1. He provides Starlink as warcomms to Ukraine as a loss-leader. Massive global kudos.
2. Publishes his losses - $20M p/month + hardware when he backs out.
3. Mentions that Lockheed has received over $60B in govt contracts since 2021.
4. Has now proved his tech in the field and that he can be a reliable defense partner.
Perfect negotiating position unlocked: "Now load me the fuck up on multi-billion dollar defense contracts!"
