"But I want a monopoly! I demand a monopoly! I'm not rich enough. I'm afraid I will run out of money and starve!" - The Goblin
It seems like the best solution would be to confiscate Starlink and nationalize it. Same with Space X. We paid for all of it, it should be ours. He can still work there, but he'll collect a government salary, and expect to answer to a boss. Or get fired. Either way, I don't care.
He can keep Tesla, that will be bankrupt in 2 years anyway.

Not in the land of the Star-Spangled Banner, I'm afraid. That would be socialism. Orange Führer wouldn't like that.
Looks like Elon Musk is getting way too powerful for his own good! He obviously hates competition! :-(
Well, thats fine. We should talk about where he is right now.
My guess is that he's not running his companies in South Africa because they would have to be 30% Black owned if that were the case. :-(
This company is acting like a spoiled brat of a child.
Musk is a domestic terrorist.
Musk isn't American; he's an international terrorist
But he is, he has both US and Canadian citizenship in addition to S. African.
As an American, I do not claim him.
That's fine, but he's still a US citizen according to the law.
He cheated after coming here illegally. Then did a bunch of sex crimes and destroyed american jobs. No. Sorry but illegal immigrants to the torture prison.
I don't make the rules; i just write fanfic about them being enforced evenly.
That doesn't change the fact that he's an American citizen. That's what I was correcting.
Oh, so the government doesn't kidnap or murder citizens now?
I'm not sure how that's relevant. The OP claimed he wasn't a citizen, I corrected that.
No, said it was foreign or internatuonal or something.
Which it is.
International implies he's not a citizen, which he is.
No it does not. It implies activity in and from ither places as well as this one. Which it is.
Didn’t work. They are laying fiber everywhere as we speak. So happy to kiss Comcast goodbye.
So happy for you! I'm still stuck with shady cable as they cancelled the 2024 rollout.
I swear Cable internet was propped up by hidden fees and promo pricing.
The way they are rolling through Central Virginia I’d say they will have most of VA done soon (relative to years). Even Bumpass has it now.
they hate you. always remember. they hate your entire existence. they'd literally crush you in a hydraulic press if they could. giving you pain is the only way they feel a semblance of happiness.
Look, yes, will we and they and literally all life end they aren't stopped?
Sure, yes, obviously.
Can they be negotiated with persuaded medicated or coerced into rational sane self interest? Nope. Not one of them.
But if youre not willing to end all life for theit bullshit, to kill yourself in such a slow and spectacylar manner that no life escapes, you're advocaging violence, you vig murdering dummy.
you almost had me there
This is absolute insanity. To think that fiber and satellites are even on the same playing field is absolute brain damage.
The problem I see is that we've already paid for fiber
Yep, $400bn wasted on fiber "deployments" that never went anywhere while telcos pocketed the cash, and that was as of like a decade ago.
And across the pond the french government spent 20bn to have the government build out fiber and now basically everyone in france has super cheap fiber internet.
Paying companies to do stuff that's against their financial incentives doesn't work.
Capitalism breeds innovation and advancement, folks!
Also didn't Rupert Murdoch also stifle fiber adoption in Australia because better internet would cut into his TV and print empire there?
Musk is a toxic stink in this world.
Reminds me of the German Telekom and their unceasing effort to slow down state subsidised fibre deployment.
The subsidies are primarily for towns left behind with bad ADSL (it was below 30mbit average and is now afaik 100mbit), that want to build their own local fibre nets cause nobody else does.
They seem to watch for construction permits and then swoop in and build a few fibre adsl distribution boxes or elevate a street or two with fibre to raise the average speed in town just above threshold. The local net looses the subsidies and usually stops construction or if already built only commercial customers are still allowed to be connected...
Starlink is literally his plan to rule the world. If you singularly control access to the internet for everyone, you've won the information war... against everyone. The good news is his Nazi addict ass will likely die young from a chest-cavity attack.
the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a “tech-neutral approach” and lower the average cost of serving each location
In other words don't give the tax payer the best options you can, give them the cheapest options to implement you can.
"Hey, can we provide Fibre broadband to our residents?"
"No, we got a lot of money from Sattelite providers, eat shit and die."
Hey, this seems familiar.
I will string together old coathangers and twisted, unheated solder before I use starlink.
