   Musk shared a tweet implying Slim had connections to organized crime. Within minutes of the post, Slim canceled all collaborations with Starlink in Latin America, causing Musk to lose an estimated $7 billion.

     @Sustainable2050 Dependency on Starlink is a trap anyway.

     @Sustainable2050 Hate to be that guy, but this is an MSN republishing of a source named BallerAlert, which itself does not name its sources. I saw this story last night and could not source it from any better sources, so I did not share it.

     There is this Spanish-language source, but it does not blame the decision on a tweet: https://expansion.mx/tecnologia/2025/02/28/america-movil-corta-lazos-con-spacex

     MSN is an aggregator—fake news can get in there. Be vigilant.

     @Sustainable2050 Sen. Everett Dirksen was famous for saying: "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money."
