      It sounds like they'll buy an alternative product when one is available. Tesla, X, and xAI all have multiple viable alternatives - superior alternatives even. That's not yet the case for Starlink in many locations[0], but in 5-10 years, your colleague may be using an Amazon Kuiper, One World, Garmin[1], or Apple[1] connection. 0. Symmetric gigabit fiber Internet remains the gold standard, where one can get it, but unfortunately that's not many places. 1. I hope these companies are at least looking into doing these, as it's adjacent to their current products.
