Just in case racketeering seems to you like a new Musk behavior - he did the same with the Starlinks to Ukraine bait and switch. Get Pentagon, Europe and volunteers pay up for the terminals with promise bandwidth would be there as a promotional sponsorship, then threaten cutting off service unless someone paid honey for it.

Grifters gonna grift, no matter what.
