Musk/Starlink has the chance to do to traditional cellular service what cellular has done to landlines.

Starlink can turn every handheld phone into a Satellite phone.

Agree 100%. He had a ludicrous idea to launch rockets into space and then have the rocket LAND ITSELF to save money. Completely failed. Reusable rockets? What an idiot!!


I never called him an idiot..

Every business he's ever started was labeled as complete nonsense, especially by our brilliant politicians.

Then they all eventually decide that we need to write a blank check to make sure we have plenty of starlink bases, tesla supercharger, etc

The guy puts products to market that people want but politicians dont have an early piece of from the investment side.. He forces them to buy in well after the 'early adopter' stage

He's gonna have a real tough time getting people to give up their internal combustion phones for phones that you have to plug in a couple hours a day.

Elon will get the FedGov to subsidize this so they can give free phones to poors.. He is a master of getting the absolute stupidest customer (the government) to prop up any business he runs


Show us on the doll where Elon touched you

Prop up? You mean sell a viable product (rockets) to them at a fraction the cost of other providers?
