I can't give money to Musk. I just can't. OP doesn't live in the US, so maybe they don't feel this quite as acutely, but it's difficult to name someone who has done quite so much long-term damage to the US in such a short time.

Same. Stinks of Musk.

It's the same sentiment in large parts of Europe, and a major reason for dropping Tesla sales. He actively supports right-wing, eurosceptic politics and parties in several European countries.
Nope I live in Europe and most people are with Elon in this one, it's the left wing media that spout this FUD, yes the credulous woke brigade will swallow it. Most people are tired of their cities becoming ruined by out of control immigration. If democrats and left wing political parties don't recognise this (as as happened in USA with Trump wining) it will continue to move to the right. In the UK the next election will likely be won by a right wing party (hopefully)
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
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).
Let me guess, spacex have never had a single successful launch, right? Bezos is way ahead - and he’s such a great guy!
SpaceX can be doing awesome things and Musk can be grifting simultaneously.
That and what it's done for ground based astronomy.
What has it done for ground based astronomy?
As an astronomer, nothing meaningful. Oh, apart from making it possible for me to have a dark sky site that’s miles from anywhere, including the nearest cell tower.
Bastards.

Even more distressing is that the photo is from 2019.
