Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million

What do you mean ?

You said starlink was the Tesla of the EV industry. But they aren’t part of the EV industry, they are an internet provider.
And many people would argue that Tesla is not leaps and bounds above the competition, but rather falling behind the competition after starting with a huge head start.

It’s a figure of speech. Breathe of the wild is the soulsborne of Nintendo. I honestly can’t explain it. Yes Tesla was the Pinnacle during the early years of EV. Starlink is the Pinnacle of space internet. I’m sure it will get overtaken. Currently musk has resources that others don’t, namely space x
Maybe I coined it wrong. Starlink is the Tesla of the space internet. Is that better

Yeah, that’s actually much better. I agree with that. They are both trailblazers.

Tesla wasn’t even that great, they just had more marketing (and installed some charging stations on the west coast usa) than many of the companies they did RnD with at the time
