It's crazy how there's a bunch of sockuppets in here replying to each other.

Cutting off Starlink was never threatened on Ukraine access. SpaceX, Musk and Ukraine themselves (both Zelensky and other Ukrainian government officials) have all denied it.

The US has not stopped providing Starlink in any way. This is entirely based around fear that the US government may suddenly stop supplying Ukraine with Starlink connectivity. Also Eutelsat is not a victim. My point is that they're cap

Eutelsat already has global coverage. So coverage is also the wrong word to use.

The CEO is blatantly lying to you at a level that I would call securities fraud. First off the basic facts are wrong, SpaceX has just over 7000 satellites, not 40,000. Secondly it is physically impossible to launch even 7000 satellites with

The title is intellectually dishonest. Eutelsat is not in any way a rival to Starlink. They are not at all playing in the same league. Starlink has over 7000 satellites. Eutelsat has several hundred they got from their purchase of OneWeb an

His wording is specifically "I think there is a less than zero chance that we did not go to the moon", i.e. he's not 100% sure but pretty sure we landed on the moon.

Yeah but that didn't pay for the vehicle development.

Musk wasn't even born to wealth...

by mlindner 2y ago
None of those points are accurate. He is not his main partner in 25 countries. He did not lose 7 billion dollars from anything related to this. That is a completely made up story. Carlos Slim is literally a bit player authorized reseller. T

I'm surprised even hacker news is getting suckered in by this. This is a tabloid website and no legitmate source is reporting on this. The article also lies significantly. Carlos Slim's company was only a Starlink authorized resel

No. Signal groups are advertised with signal.group URLs.

Signal group chat links still work as do signal.org links. It's only signal.me links that are blocked.

If you invent reasons to dismiss what people say then there's nothing anyone can say to convince you otherwise.

He certainly is, but AFAIK he hasn't been creating any regulations.

You can drill down by clicking on an agency grouping at the bottom of the page. There's also a breakdown (without the ability to drill down) of regulations vs laws by year. https://doge.gov/regulations

There's nothing he's done regarding Starlink in Ukraine that's of note besides denying a Ukrainian government request to enable to Starlink service in Crimea. That is literally it. I don't get why people get so bent out

How is your personal issue on an unrelated topic relevant to the article? I understand you're having personal difficulties but I've never even heard of this issue and more sounds like a simple mistake that can be addressed by talk

I think these types of arguments are somewhat disingenuous when it's referring to tax breaks on future taxes. It doesn't harm the state at all because the company wouldn't have located in the state in the first place without

In the US they generally add toxic chemicals back in for that kind of thing to prevent people doing that.

To be clear, I'm saying too many from one place shouldn't be allowed in in the first place. If they're let in the path to citizenship should be straight forward.

Elon Musk is in fact incredibly popular, even if he is highly polarizing. His poll numbers are similar to Trumps and Trump won the national election.
