It works in an easy money environment with plenty of investors chasing buzzwords being sold hopium about scaling and unrealistic expectations about price declines and revenue increase. But the economic sustainability of launching a very large number of satellites to satisfy the very small number of people who live in isolated areas is extremely suspect, just like every single other thing Elon has ever 'built'.

Wasn’t Starlink marketed in the same way as the “banking the unbanked” principle, but for rural / less affluent areas? Starlink ain’t cheap so for who is it exactly? I wouldn’t pay €300 to buy a Starlink Kit AND pay €85 a month for internet if i weren’t affluent lol. Always found that interesting…
Tesla would not exist in a free market economy. It’s technology is inferior efficiency wise than current technology mainly due to the Achilles heel of the battery. We have not figured out electricity storage. Tesla is unprofitable, but subsidized by Wall Street and anointed as one of bets by VCs that everyone invest into to pump it. Elon has been hand picked as the manipulator in chief, the idiot savant. When he’s not. Has he ever actually completed a thought? Shit posting puzzling one liners is all I see. And in the background he pursues the WEF agenda. image

Starlink is actually global hypersonic missle detection and tracking array. The internet part is a nice little cover story for military hardware. 🤷‍♂️
