        Sovereignty is a huge issue here - handing control of critical infrastructure to a US oligarch is just begging to be coerced and exploited.

          Same applies to all social networks and MS Windows, right? Just making sure I’m tracking - these are also hated here? Things that rich people own manufacturing of? What about cars? They’re pretty much govt spyware now too. Just wondering how far this govt coercion hatred extends into everyday life.

          Oooooo. Wow ppl really just gonna hate everything he touches eh?

          Remind me why. Is it mainly because of his attempt to reduce government spending, his views on trans, his Asperger’s, or his odd approach to reproducing with women?

          SpaceX has 10k employees that aren’t Elon ya know.

              Yes I understand that’s the party line. I was hoping for something more concrete but now it feels like this is being answered in bad faith so we can shut it down

                What party line? It’s the truth? He’s in the Epstein files begging to go “party” on the island. He hit multiple nazi salutes on camera. It’s not a line it’s a statement of fact Elon Musk is a nazi pedophile.

                Bad faith is when people point out my idol is fucking evil.

                  I genuinely saw the man making a hand gesture out to all the people. I didn’t see, nor have I even seen, any sign or symptom that he’s actually a Nazi.

                  The pedo thing, eh that’s pretty inconclusive that he was touching underage women because he asked to go to a party imo. I prefer a bit more damning evidence.

                  The man isn’t my idol. I hate a lot of his personal life and the way he appears to treat woman.

                  I truly am thinking independently, and I understand that your view on the world is different. Is this all it takes for you to say pedo Nazi or is there more?

      There is an issue with that, if the starlink saterlites were destroyed they would no longer be able to make avoidance menovers. This could very quickly lead to a cascade of massive crashes that pretty much means we will never be able to leave the earth for a long time.

        Not true. Starlink are in a very low orbit and regularly (1 or 2 a day) will simply burn up themselves as they fall out of orbit.

            that will decimate the ozone layer in 15-30 years.

            🤦
            I always thought of de-orbiting just to burn-off as a waste, but now this.

                The researchers suspect this would help shrink the ozone hole that forms over the South Pole every year,

                Ok, so there seems to be a silver lining.
                A lesser Ozone hole during a certain period.

                Now just to know if the Ozone decimation is winning over this little phenomenon.
                Either way, the LEO satellites seem to be to big a mess for their worth, unless you are just considering their military worth.
