Starlink has a fraction of the projected $12B revenue and 20M users, WSJ says.

SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million::Starlink has a fraction of the projected $12B revenue and 20M users, WSJ says.

After Musk disabled Starlink to aid Russia, a hostile state in their efforts to invade a sovereign democracy, it should have been clear to everyone that Musk poses a very real security threat, and Starlink should have been seized and nationalised.

Its insane to live through Gilded Age 2. The cycle repeats.

Complete with another unsuccessful Business Plot. But this time, some of the ringleaders may be punished.

What business plot? Elon musk’s attempt to play military?

The corporate plot to overturn Democracy and turn the US into a Corporate Theocracy. Their minions the Republicans almost succeeded.

What the fuck? When was this? What’ sit called? Where can I read more about this?

Thanks in advance

Holy shit it’s literally called the “Business Plot”. Horrifying that nobody was prosecuted. I imagine proof in those days may have been letters and phone calls, but proof of either could have been hard to collect or just avoided altogether by the perpetrators.

This fiasco is a glaring example that no one indvidual shold be able to accrue enough wealth to affect entire countries.

One of many, sadly. With the strong trend toward wealth consolidation they’re not going to slow down any time soon.
