Not the important point, but if Musk/SpaceX was able to execute this unilaterally and isn't labeled a supply-chain risk the way Anthropic was, Anthropic’s case against the gov could get very interesting. The government’s central argument is that a private supplier's ability to restrict a military system can itself constitute a national security supply-chain risk. Yet Hegseth said today that “we haven’t pulled anything back,” but “Starlink has the option to make decisions concerning its terms of service.” If SpaceX independently imposed restrictions on a US-funded military service that disrupted Ukrainian operations, it raises some interesting legal questions about how consistently the government is applying the supply-chain risk standard it invoked against Anthropic. Anthropic is seeking a rehearing in DC Circuit court.
