Bold, selfless decision-making by the worlds richest man, risking the appearance of absurd corruption in order to keep us all safe. But we all know that he just has our best interests at heart. Take that, government corruption!

"Elon Musk said Thursday that Verizon’s efforts to provide a critically needed upgrade to the FAA’s air traffic control system is failing. And he said that it is important that Starlink, a unit of his SpaceX satellite and rocket company, take over."

What is going on in this country I mean come on already.....

Anyone that actually agrees with his behavior is out of there minds and 200% part of the problem. Contract of interest laws exist for a reason to prevent this type of corruption. He should be in jail regardless of his financial status.

Considering I've been on the phone for 9 straight days trying to get xfinity to fix a downed line on my proprerty which is a major safety hazard, I have a hard time believing that switching away from the bloated legacy internet providers will be bad for the country. Those companies have had a monopoly for decades and their service reflects that.

I know comcast/xfinity isn't the same as verizon but i doubt it's much different. The lady told me today that there recods indicated that they've already been to my property 3 times to fix the problem and the technicians reported they were here at least 40 minutes each time. I told her, "That's a lie. The job would take 10 minutes. Plus I have a video camera in my back yard. They (contractors) weren't here at all and just told you that so they could bill you."

All of that being said, if the govt wants to switch to starlink, the proper protocols should be followed. We shouldn't just be switching large contracts to supporters of the president in power. That being said, I think Starlink is brilliant.

During the last administration, I saw the gov twas going to spend $42 billion to provide rural broadband, I thought "That makes no sense. Just buy everyone a starlink terminal."

The most boring part about Elon is that he doesn’t seem to be driven by any sort of higher cause. He doesn’t have a grand plan for humanity. He just wants all the money.

this is the smallest dic quote ive ever seen. the guy already has money and is just trying ti be logical and help.

people like you are why in philosophy its logically impossible to be perfect and also have people admit you are. or to be truly benevolent means the public would attack you.

Jesus was killed because he was like Musk. When you are real, smart, and actually help the public cant handle how it breaks their egos.

Musk being better than you and obviously so- makes your ego hurt so you try to convicne yourself its not so hahahaha. lets be honest... Jesus was killed, even if you consider it a symbolic story- being a truth teller is not the best thing, which is why those in power dont tell the truth.

idiots like you are why power does what power does - it is power and right so it can take.

The common idiot is a murderer and pretends he is not.

You will never be great like Musk. He is great so he is hated.
