On one hand, fuck Musk. On the other hand, internet from space that can't be blocked by governments is a net positive in my book.
Oh? What about internet controlled by a billionaire who makes sure his toxic website featuring his version of “free speech” is always available to protect his profits and spread his bullshit while undermining the policies of a sovereign state?
So much better than the evil government.
How many people is the billionaire incarcerating?
He got his wealth because his parents owned a slave-powered diamond mine.
Also, as he hides his money and doesn't pay taxes the US government is overburdened and one of their tools is relying on prisons for free labor.
Soooo actually quite a lot.
