  Reports that Elon Musk's SpaceX is in advanced negotiations with the Italian government over the provision of internet and telecommunications via its Starlink system have raised security and competition concerns.


Elon Musk's Starlink has entered into an agreement with Italy to provide satellite internet services, aiming to enhance connectivity in remote and rural areas. However, this deal has sparked security concerns among Italian officials and cybersecurity experts. They worry about the implications of relying on a foreign entity, particularly one led by Musk, for critical infrastructure. Key issues include data privacy, potential vulnerabilities in national security, and the control over internet access which could theoretically be manipulated or monitored by external forces. Critics argue that while the technology promises to bridge the digital divide, the risks associated with foreign control over such pivotal technology could outweigh the benefits, prompting calls for stringent regulatory oversight and possibly reevaluating the terms of the agreement to safeguard national interests.
