The level of ignorance from you musk haters is hilarious. Starlink has done 100xs more for rural areas than the nearly trillion we gave to the telecoms. Yea musk is a dick but you're ignorant as fuck if you think starlink is a scam.
There were a dozen companies that applied for the grant. Musk won by over promising.
Not just that, he used star link to manage international relations by suddenly stopping service for Ukraine.
He's a "free speech abolitionist" and egotistical megalomaniac that's willing lie about deliverables and take illegal actions because there's been no punishment.
Here's punishment.

If you are expanding the deep state to include regulatory bodies, you are just talking about the state.
Can you provide an instance of the state ever hiding the fact that they regulate businesses, or did you just find out that was one of their powers?

I think I misunderstood you the first time. I thought you were a musk fan boy claiming the regulators themselves were the deepstate.

ITAR...look it up.

Well he never won in the first place. This is the original final decision of him losing in the first place. What was "won" previously was SpaceX getting short listed as one of the companies to be seriously considered for award. Then followed the actual final full decision checks and SpaceX failed to meet criterion for the subsidy.
Then neither does any other telecoms that took nearly a trillion dollars and haven't done even half of what starlink has done in under 10 years for rural broadband.
Yes. Exactly.
Giving government money to muskrat companies is the scam.
Yea...fuck all those people who work on projects that have literally changed humanity for the better....
People will keep down voting you, but I just wanted to stop in and let you know that there are other people like you who can read.
People on Lemmy are leftist AF and their seething hate for Musk clouds their ability to think.
Yea I know, literally SpaceX has helped NASA out a ton and do a lot of ground breaking work, but because musk is involved, they want all of his shit to fail
Have you tried gaming on satellite internet?
Yea starlink isn't geo sat. It's Leo and has ping around 20-30ms, basically the same as cable. If you're trying to compare starlink to sat internet of the past, like vianet then you're confused, as they're completely different.
Do you personally have starlink and experience those ping levels? Reports from people online claim higher ping times.
Yes, I did, but now have a wired connection through my coop electric company. I don't know where your getting that ping is higher, go look at the /r/starlink subreddit, tons of people post their speeds there.
