Private infrastructure owned by that megalomaniac is not good.
Why do you hate the free market?

If there was another option I'd take it. As it is though, I'm travelling around Australia and it's freaking brilliant. Australia has zero coverage for most of the country outside of the towns and city regions. I can park up in total outback with no phone reception and get anywhere from 150 to 400 Mbps. I couldn't do this without it, so I'll take it, as it's the only option
Although in the case of Starlink, one company is already putting enough space junk in LEO to affect astronomy research and photography. I can't imagine if there were more than one competitor.
Yeah, I lost ALL respect for Muskrat over the past several years.
The man is working very hard to rapidly destroy every single bit of hype and goodwill he has built up in the past.
I'm not even American or in America and I'm mad he derailed the chances of the USA having high-speed rail all for this half-assed hyper-loop project. Switzerland already considered a similar project (Swiss Metro) and despite lots of experience in making tunnels and railways, it was dismissed as unfeasible.
