    Typical American who has never travelled the world. In large parts of Earth nothing comes even close to Starlink. Including our vast oceans travelled by ten thousands of tourists on cruise ships.

    Perhaps Elon is a brilliant engineer and an idiot businessman.

      What the fuck are you talking about it just launched in 2020

      It’s not meant to be profitable. It’s a decade away. That’s how you grow a business. You only need to be cash flow positive and then you absorb the cost

      An idiot businessman doesn’t successfully run several multi billion dollar companies simultaneously.

      i don’t think the world needs more good businessman.. Valuing profit and success over everything else has lead to too much bullshit look at boeing, purdue pharma

    Musk’s only business success is Paypal. Tesla was a disaster until he was saved by China. SpaceX is a money guzzler with no profit in sight. X is overvalued. The Boring company is a boring joke. As for his solar energy company, the less said the better.
    Musk’s talent is in creating illogical followership to boost his stock!

      Everything you said is wrong so stfu

      spaceX was profitable before starship and starlink

      Tesla was profitable before china. Only the model 3 made Tesla massive

      PayPal? Stfu he was a co founder and largest Equity holder but he was fired by the board before eBay acquired it

      Tesla and spacex are amazing businesses. They would be even more profitable if you stop investing in the future. Like more factories or starship. The falcon 9 is a workhorse

      Also the boring company is a small engineering company it’s not meant to be a big company

      Solar? He never started a solar company that was his cousins business he never ran that business ever

    Who even said starlink was profitable? Lmao it only launched in 2020

    Maybe cash positive but it’s such an attack

    I dont understand titles negative framing

    Starlink isnt a company it’s a business unit. Elusive? What does that even fucking mean? It’s a low earth orbit constellation? Every single one of them went bankrupt

    Bill gates tried in the 1990s but starlink is cash flow positive already because its a netflix type subscription business

    They arent making money on the terminals like sony and xbox never do on the consoles but make it back on the games

    What a biased guest! What was so ‘fantastic’ about Ed’s question when Caroline asked the same thing FIRST! Sometimes I worry about your whole ethos Bloomberg!

    I’ve been a Starlink customer for almost 12 months. I’m very happy.
    It costs just €50 per month.
    I’d have to wait 2-3 more years for National Broadband to be installed to get similar speeds and prices through fibre optics broadband.
    I’ve convinced two of my neighbours to install Starlink.

    My Starlink connection has zero outrages, with a Ping time of 47ms, an Average Download Speed of 300mbps & an Upload of 100mbps.

    My old 4G LTE connection had an average download speed of 5Mbps with regular outages whenever there was a spot of bad weather!

    Starlink has launched over 6000 satellites and their launch cadence increases apace.
    How many satellites has Amazon launched? Just 2! Lmfao!!

    How biased is this Blomberg article?
    Especially the bar graph at 3:26
    The graph is an underhanded tactic to make Starlink look bad.

    Space is a slow game. I wish they could think a little bigger. Fire our plastic waste from the oceans into the sun. Deposit our nuclear waste on Jupiter. Mine rare earth metals in space. Satellites seem so 20th century.

    #SpaceX & The #Starlink service: Brilliant.
    In reality, nothing else compares to #Starlinks coverage, speed, consistency, etc @the moment.
    Bravo, keep up the good work.
