     Sounds like pure bullshit and horrible conflict of interest. Verizon is still one of the Tier 1 backbone providers in the US. Sure he might have cut out some waste, but I find it highly unlikely Verizon is somehow on the verge of collapsing services to airports. This is straight up Dick Cheney/Raytheon levels of corruption.

     Nothing is free. There is no free lunch.

     The mob might give you protection for free at first, but they will come for favors in return eventually.

     It is old shit from the 50s. They should just use text instead. No excuse. Elon giving it for free anyway. No conflict. Temporary band aid.

     I don't know, but if that's true, they could have changed to any other provider. Going with Starlink is straight up using his position for gain and he's blatant about it. It's "free" for now, and later down the line he can switch to a fee (long after no one is looking) on the levels of the waste he claims he's trying to stop. People at his income level don't do things out of the kindness of their hearts. Every thing is a stepping stone.

     @djsumdog @Zennagain You don't know much about the service Verizon provides the FAA. Failures have cut off controllers from NY airspace monthly and that's not the only place it's happened.

     Um, he's also wants a CCP style we-chat app out of Xitter? Many people in alt-media never got their old accounts back. He literally censored pop culture streamers on Xitter for calling him out on cheating on fucking video game stats.

     https://youtu.be/lwMOmlhFo4A
     
     He also went full on the API war offensive with X, removed the ability to see threads while not logged in and actively fights privacy frontends like Nitter.
     
     Musk's neurolink animal testing resulted in the deaths of 12 monkeys who died quite violently, and then he decided to go ahead with human trials anyway. Doctors left the program over the ethics.
     
     He's a member of the PayPal Mafia with Peter Thiel. He has a history of corrupt business practices since before the PayPal days and has been embroiled on several lawsuits.
     
     He's a technocrat who's had several quotes where he believes human beings can be controlled by technology.
     
     He censored people who disagreed with him and Vivek over H1-Bs:

     He told critics to "FUCK YOURSELF in the face" and "subtards"

     Why are you defending this person? A few good things doesn't change the face this guy is an evil as fuck businessman who doesn't believe anything he says, and changes course in whatever way will build his cult of personality?
     
     You are letting Elon live rent free in your head.

     He has plenty of money. Bought Twitter at a loss, working for free. What else does Elon have to do? So many grifters out there that are doing nothing to help our situation. He actually has and is. Big time.

     You don't know that. You'll already forget about it when it does happen and it will likely benefit Starlink.
     
     > You just don't like Elon
     
     I judge a man by his actions, not his rhetoric. His actions are many:

     Who cares? Whatever contract gets negotiated, will be the winner. You just don't like Elon. I on the other hand live what he is doing. The benifits so far outweigh any nepotism.

     You're the one that fucking asked. When I give you an answer, you just double down on your faith in your god. Well whatever. He'll chip your brain. He's not getting near mine, not without a fight.
