Musk's political influence increases the European Starlink's "Starlink" concern

The rocket from Eileon Musk to the top of the political scene in the United States, as a palace of efficiency, raises great concern in Europe, which is not only due to his hard criticism of social networks against Brussels legislation. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the partnership between Musk and Donald Trump as ‘very worrying’, especially indicating the dominance of Musk in the space industry. This anxiety is justified, but only criticism is not enough. SpaceX, valued at 210 billion dollars, has exceptional power exceeding the impact of Musk -Tweets. The reusable missiles actually dominated the Malls Launch market in which Europe was previously a pioneer. Regarding the “Starlink” network, which includes 6,000 satellites, and provides a high velocity internet from anywhere, it has changed the war in the battlefield that depends on the drones in Ukraine. Officials feel panicked by the conflict of interest in billionaire, which could aggravate its dangerous dependence. In a symposium held in Paris last week, German anti -monopathy authority Head, Andreas Mont, warned about the impact of Musk on “Starlink”, and called on the technical regulatory authorities to be bold and say that it is “unacceptable” that one person has authority. But the satellite successes of Mask were also supported by Europe’s failure to adjust and compete. ‘SpaceX’ competitors fell into the traditional trap; Where Europe does not yet have a reusable rocket after deciding to give up this technology a decade before a decade. Traditional works such as space vision -broadcasting suffer in the era of broadcasting on demand such as “Netflix”, while markets such as maritime navigation and flight to the cheapest and easiest “starlink” equipment are attracted. Europe’s failure to adjust and compete the effect of low prices is still in progress, even in the midst of a wave of integration to improve power: Intel SAT, based in Luxembourg, obtained by six, recorded a 9.4% decline in the third quarter income, with a 13.7% decline. The shares of ewesat Communications, which merged with the British “OneWeb”, dropped to the lowest level in 19 years. While Europe hesitates on how to catch this knee, Starlink earns more customers at the base of its 4 million subscribers. Air France-KLM airline, from which the French government has an interest in September, announced an agreement with Starlink in September to offer a high speed internet on its flights from next summer. In the same month, Starlink announced an agreement with his prominent US agent “United Airlines”. Nathan de Reuters, director of Novaspace de Reuters, said Starlink is able to improve and develop its products with more satellites. Although the excellence in the construction of missiles is not fair to allow power pile into the hands of one person, ‘Starlink’ is a great product, and the most urgent struggle for Europeans must be a vibrant local alternative, especially considering that Jeff Bezos, the founder of ‘Amazon.com), is the most similar alternative to a mask. is on daring technology, not just on the organization. in the market. The European President of the Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, said last week that the ‘clear’ technological gap in the European Union and the upcoming customs fees makes the Capital Markets Union indispensable. The biggest problem of the geopolitical power of a mask is perhaps the tendency of Europe to move only in times of crisis, something that Merkel may realize. The summary of the rise of Elon Musk as a technological and political power in the United States is concerned in Europe, especially as a result of the dominance of strategic industries such as space and communication. Musk’s partnership with Donald Trump is a possible threat to European sovereignty, especially with the success of “SpaceX” in controlling the satellite launch market thanks to its innovative technologies. Starlink, which includes thousands of satellites, has become a significant element in providing a high speed internet, which has led to the acquisition of new markets such as navigation and aviation, while Europe is suffering from a delay in accepting similar technologies and lack of a strong alternative. Despite European criticism, such as those launched by Angela Merkel over the conflict of the interests of Musk, the solution lies in improving innovation and investment in competitive local projects. Current initiatives such as “Iris²” and Startups support show a little hope, but they need more momentum. Europe must move quickly to bridge the technological gap, strengthen capital markets and develop fat technologies to counter US domination. Success is not only achieved by criticism, but by following a mask model in risk and deep investment in the future.
