    Yeah, Musk has gone insane, anyone can see that.

    But Musk aside, LEO satellites are still really the only viable and economical solution to the problem of broadband in rural areas, and Starlink seems to work great.

    Also, the objection that resulted in pulling this funding looks pretty bullshit. Several other broadband providers are getting these same funding deals for doing basically nothing.

      No, he hasn’t. He’s just a bog-standard capitalist doing bog-standard capitalist things.
