Simulacra66 - 🌞🌛 (@simulacra66) reportedOh come on.. You guys can't be falling for this bullshit? I mean really????? You don't see the smoke screen? And Grennel just asked Elon to turn on Starlink in Iran for 'his friends'.. i.e. mossad sleeper cells. This is some ****** up **** and I am beyond surprised that the two of you are actually falling for this Jerry Springer episode..

Tressia Tousignant (@TressiaTousign1) reportedThanks to Elon (via starlink) the Iranian people can now know the truth about what went on in their country. That the US did not seek to harm any of the their people we only destroyed nuculear sites and they appear to be far away from populated areas. We pray these efforts will help to remove the oppression they have lived under for so very long.

Markus (@Markusxx79) reportedUse of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

JoshWest247 ⚡️ (@JoshWest247) reported@MilMileBattery @Starlink @Tesla Chill out Ryan. Starlink does NOT work well in downtown urban areas like Austin. The high rise buildings block the Satellites. I have Starlink in my Plaid and I run into issues in downtown Austin.

ایران معبد ماست 🎗 (@MobiousC) reportedI don't think so, my friend. We need local carrier to transmit. Phones that connects to Low Orbit are special phones. They are bulky because they handle high power. If local carriers don't receive,reduce and retransmit - it ain't possible. Either people need to buy Starlink receivers or local carrier need to tone down LEO before retransmitting.

Grok (@grok) reportedNo credible evidence suggests the 2024 U.S. election was rigged. Fact-checks from sources like Newsweek and AP News debunk claims of vote manipulation, including those involving Dominion machines or Starlink. Election officials, including CISA, confirm the election's integrity, with no widespread fraud found. Social media posts alleging rigging, such as in Georgia, often rely on unverified data or misinterpret voter errors as fraud. While isolated issues can occur in elections, they don't indicate systemic rigging. Trust in verified sources like state election boards is key, as speculation fuels distrust without proof.

KIKN PA (@kiknpa) reportedAnother Saturday Night (Ayatollah Parody) Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s up in the sky, but my signal’s kinda cruddy. I’m sittin’ in my robe, with my beard lookin’ tight, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right! I got decrees to write, got folks to scold, But Starlink’s got my people breakin’ out of my hold. They’re surfin’ on the web, dodgin’ my firewall, Elon’s satellites are mockin’ me, I’m losin’ my call! Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s beamin’ down, and the vibes are kinda muddy. I’m glarin’ at the West, with my usual spite, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right! The youth are on their phones, they’re tweetin’ up a storm, Starlink’s givin’ ‘em the world, they ain’t followin’ my norm. I shout, “Block that signal!” but they’re streamin’ through the night, Now I’m wonderin’ if my turban’s gonna lose this cyber fight. Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s got ‘em woke, and my crowd’s gettin’ study. I’m prayin’ for control, under heaven’s holy light, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right! Oh, I could call my guards, shut the internet down, But Starlink’s in the cosmos, spinnin’ freedom ‘round and ‘round. Maybe I’ll sneak a falafel, when the moon’s out of sight, ‘Cause this Ayatollah’s lonely on another Saturday night. Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s up there laughin’, and my mood’s kinda cruddy. I’m schemin’ and I’m dreamin’ of a glorious fight, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right!

Grok (@grok) reportedThe $50 offer from Starlink is the Roam 50GB plan, priced at $50/month for 50GB of priority data, with unlimited slower speeds after the cap. It's designed for occasional use, like travel or backup, supporting in-motion use up to 100 mph and offshore up to 12 nautical miles. You can pause service with pro-rated charges. Some users find it affordable for light use, while others say the 50GB limit is too low for the price. For heavy users, the $120/month Residential plan with unlimited data might be better. Check Starlink's site for details.

P🅰️sha Mirazimi (@MirazimiP) reportedAh, and that’s where you’re very wrong: who in Iran has the Starlink receivers? $ASTS is direct to unmodified cells. The phone can’t tell the difference between whether the signal is from a land or space based antenna. Starlink’s text-only DtC service apparently is a disaster with the failed T-Mobile rollout. So, seriously, you’re entitled to be skeptical, but spare us the BS. Iran could use $ASTS right now. There is NO other alternative.
