Considering how Russian’s have been found to be using Space X satellites, while Musk is blocking Ukraine from using them I’d have to say sure I bet he is, but I bet the Russians will also have access to it.

Would it be easier for the US to spy on Russia if they were using SpaceX systems and the US had complete access to them?

Sure, and it’d be easier for Russia to spy on the US. Canada has an extremely unobstructed view into the US’s intelligence gathering due to voluntarily shared systems… which are voluntarily shared because there’s a lot of trust between Canada and the US. There are some pretty compelling reasons to not trust Russia.

Starlink is still active in Ukraine.

The security for anything the US military builds is fairly tight. Need to know wouldn’t include rocket boys.

What the actual fudge! They know as well as we do that he’s a useful idiot or worse.

Maybe they know better. Knowing about people is kind of their job.
