US military is definitely aware of this obvious problem and they're probably in a planning stage of building out their own low earth orbit constellation of satellites that they fully control for military use. If I had to guess they'll contract with Blue Origin to build out this architecture. Elon is shown to be a security liability at this point with alleged drug use and conflict of interest with countries deemed adversarial to US.
