Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million
imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoHey you make some really good points and I appreciate your contribution to the discussion, but maybe dial it back 20% on the sass. You don’t need to make it personal by saying
You don’t understand today’s economy
Anyways, assuming that your assertions are accurate (they seem so), what’s the angle for Musk? You’re implying Starlink will corner the market in certain areas with unrealistic price points, and then raise prices eventually? Or is there a more insidious corporate strategy I’m not recognizing?

Basically, yeah.
Think jet.com, Uber (and UberEats), WeWork, etc. etc. This isn’t anything particular to Musk, this is just how US companies have operated over the past 10 years.
Musk is good at this strategy mind you. But he’s hardly unique in regards to doing it.

Yup, spot on. Neo-robber barons, but this time around they don’t even have to build something tangible to make their fortunes.
