Probably not for the reason you think.
Like, it wouldn't be patched into anything official
But it means Musk knew where that ship was 24/7, and I'm pretty sure that's why Ukraine's military stopped using it. Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements.
It's emmitting radio signals that an enemy could use to help locate the ship.
What?
Surface ships are in constant communication with stuff...
You can't just find a signal in the middle of the ocean. Musk can find a starlink signal tho, because he can see what Starlink connects to and it's gps location.
Not always
Ships absolutely practice turning everything off.
