"A U.S. military official speaking on background said it’s fair to assume that the contract has language that would prevent Elon Musk from turning the service off on a whim regardless of how U.S. military customers employ the service. DoD also likely requires enhanced cybersecurity and anti-jamming protection."

Good that the problem is acknowledged and addressed, but what's the "prevention," the enforcement mechanism should Musk decide to have another "whim" -- fines? litigation? cancelling the government check? nationalization?
