Elon Musk says around 100 Starlinks now active in Iran

Dec 26 (Reuters) - SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Monday that the company is now close to having 100 active Starlinks, the firm's satellite internet service, in Iran, three months after he tweeted he would activate the service there amid protests around the Islamic country.

Musk said, "approaching 100 starlinks active in Iran", in a tweet on Monday.

The billionaire had said in September that he would activate Starlink in Iran as part of a U.S.-backed effort "to advance internet freedom and the free flow of information" to Iranians.

This is significant, if they start getting lots of STARLINK terminals inside Iran.

1. Deserves credit.

2. If he's telling the truth. Musk is prone to exaggerate,

over promise and underdeliver. That boy has a credibility problem.

4. He got them into Ukraine and they have been very valuable.

I assume he's telling the truth here. I detest him but Good deeds should be acknowledged imho.

3. Finally Musk does something good. I am hearing nightmare stories out from an Iranian friend

about the oppression and killing of dissidents there by the government. It is a terrible human rights tragedy being severely under reported. This action will help activists communicate despite censorship by the Iranian government, though dissidents and their families may pay a heavy price (death or imprisonment) if caught.
