I agree. As much as Starlink is a technological miracle, the fact that I should finance the dealings of this man is too much.
SpaceX IPO is the next in the long grift chain.

Starlink amazing solution to a problem that should have been solved by governments years ago, the USA has power to most homes and USPS will deliver anywhere so why do we not have the same for internet? God knows
Starlink is an amazing solution to the problem of "How do I keep my orbital transport business somewhat liquid" which isn't really the kind of problem governments are meant to resolve.
The US kept Iridium alive for the military and intelligence services. If Starlink falters they will fund it the same.
Correct, the government should have ran fiber lines to every home in the united states

SpaceX can be doing awesome things and Musk can be grifting simultaneously.
Musk is a piece of shit but I need to pick my battles.
The only alternative available to me personally is Inmarsat BGAN, and for that I was paying $6 per MB (yes, six dollars per megabyte).
