The company behind the missing submersible thanked Elon Musk's company Starlink prior to the disastrous expedition. He hasn't said a word about the mission on Twitter.
It is unknown if Starlink played any role in the Titan's disappearance or loss of communications or if it was used on this mission, the submersible, or The Polar Prince. It is also unclear if SpaceX, the company behind Starlink, and OceanGate, have any financial or business ties.
Despite users pointing out this connection online, neither Starlink nor Musk have spoken about the missing passengers on the Titan, nor clarified if there was a relationship between OceanGate and Starlink. OceanGate Expeditions, which allows tourists to pay $250,000 for an eight-day exploration of the remains of the Titanic and has had two previous expeditions, is currently under fire for flouting safety rules before Sunday's expedition.
