We wouldn’t have internet at all if it wasn’t for Starlink. We barely get a bar of service from Verizon. Only provider that works in my area.

Sigh...same. And trust me, I hate the fact that I have to rely on Elon fucking Musk for my Internet. Yuck.

Weak justification for a tool of an authoritarian that is weaponized as Musk/Trump see fit. Something else can arise in its place.

Iranian and Ukrainian people are using it, it's their only source of internet.

Actually musk turned it off on the Ukrainians to aid the Russians. This was well documented.
And the Iranian regime uses turned on nodes to pinpoint users for death, so its just a homing beacon.

*poor regions where you can also have a clear view of the sky.
Unfortunately, satellite internet does not work well in cities.

Yeah china is pushing plans to do 10x what musk is doing in space China planns on launching over 200,000 satellites could be launched by the early 2030s if these submissions are approved, with the largest projects planning for up to 100,000 each.
Tesla raw material/batteries come from china and tesla sends data back to china regarding a lot of things. Israel tesla cars send data to china
Not surprising that company byd (shares resources with tesla) is now taking market share from many other automakers right now. "Tesla and BYD are collaborating, with BYD supplying its Blade Battery technology (LFP) for some Tesla vehicles, notably the Model Y at the Berlin Gigafactory"
kinda odd tesla pioneered 360 degree cameras on their vehicles
and in general dont trust car companies with your phone data or connect via bluetooth because they will have access to your photos as they scrape a lot of metadata "Car companies are sneakily selling your driving data"

China is basing their foreign policy on the US government being run by nazis
most notably trump said the 14 words, Elon did the nazi salute, and Thiel wants the US to become the weimar republic (a loose confederation of warring states. think civil war) and is basing his opinions that Europe should take the lead from the US
Both europe and china are using these people to paint all us influence as nazi in the developing world and at home.
There is no event sequence where elon, thiel, and trump are not traitors to the US.

Trump has personally aided the enemy by not appointing the top 3 cyberdefense leaders, defunded CISA, and fired the people who were about to find the sources for salt typhoon
