Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 9 months agoI think it's the other way around...you WANT everything he touches to be a scam.
I don't like the guy either, but Starlink is a real, actual product that tons of people are using just fine right now.

by trying to go with "i know you are but what am i", you just prove how childish your belief in him is

Actually, failing to address any of my points and just hammering on the "Musk bad" seems childish to me.

you have not points.. i've seen their numbers.. the subscriber growth is non-existent.. revenue is abysmal.. the costs are exactly exorbitant.. there is nothing to hide.. it is a failure hoping for a rescue.. think what you like..

WTF are you on about?
In January of 2022 SL had about 245,000 subscribers. In January of 2023 they had 1,000,000 subscribers. In September of 2023 SL had over 2,000,000 subscribers. They’ve increased by a factor of 10 in less than 24 months and doubled in the last 9!
Musk is an ass but what your saying about SL just isn’t true.

That's what Starship is for. A giant, cheap, stainless steel space truck that will vomit out hundreds of them before returning to Earth intact to pick up some more.
