Tesla, Inc. CEO Elon Musk has locked horns with Dish Network Corporation’s  Charlie Ergen.

What Happened

Ergen is trying to steal the 12 Gigahertz bandwidth spectrum meant for space internet, Musk said in a late Friday tweet. “Not cool,” he added

For the unversed, the Federal Communications Commission recently granted SpaceX’s request for the 12 GHz band for earth stations in motions, Fierce Wireless reported. This would allow the Musk-led company to provide its Starlink internet service to moving vehicles, boat, and aircraft.
