Actually, failing to address any of my points and just hammering on the "Musk bad" seems childish to me.

you have no points.. i've seen their numbers.. the subscriber growth is non-existent.. revenue is abysmal.. the costs are exactly exorbitant.. there is nothing to hide.. it is a failure hoping for a rescue.. think what you like..

That's what Starship is for. A giant, cheap, stainless steel space truck built by blue collar welders that will vomit out hundreds of them before returning to Earth intact to pick up some more.

The whole Mars thing is just for PR. He has a different use for it. That thing ain't ever making it to Mars.

You have yet to actually provide any counter points other than plugging your ears and saying "Nu uh!"

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

the numbers are public, apparently none of you care to observe their reality

Apparently you don't know how to have a conversation... Doing a quick search it seems like Starlink is around the break even point for operating costs and revenue, so if you'd like to provide sources to refute that, that'd be great.
