Don’t forget Nazi
That will work out as well as the death tunnel (formerly hyperlink)
SpaceX can fuck right off with that plan.
Musk = POS Nazi.
I’m so glad other countries are coming up with their own satellites just for the expressed interest to boycott musk.

Low orbit satellites will never replace fiber because physics of latency, bandwidth and error correction.
As far as things go today well never need less fiber. Even if we cover the sky with satellites eventually we'd need to upgrade to fiber because its literally impossible to beat. Except for scifi tech like quantum entanglement networks which might not even be possible or practical and wouldn't need the satelites anyway.
As an infrastructure bet it makes absolutely zero sense except for covering rare niches like war zones or oceans.

I say that Emma Stone should divorce her husband and marry me instead.
I would burn the money before giving it to the nazi
What's dumb about this statement is all Elon would have to do is market to all the places where broadband companies refuse to go and be affordable. tRump already killed the rural broadband initiatives. There's literally no competition and word-of-mouth could probably pull in more who are unhappy with their broadband provider.
However, capitalism and greed are cancers that know no limit...

That's a dumb ass idea, and I'm literally on Starlink right now
I sure am sick of super fast, stable internet connections. Let’s all get something that fucks up when it’s cloudy.
We should also dump passenger trains for...electric car tunnels?
Here's a better idea: nationalize SpaceX and tell Musk to go fuck himself first. Not going to happen? Then no grant money.
Goat says garden needs more carrots.
You cannot actually serve hundreds of millions in the US even if you invested the 75B it would cost to give every household a satellite it just can't support the bandwidth.
Musk is still hitting the special K.
Fuck. That.
katy says spacex should go fuck themselves and go bankrupt
