He owns Starlink. What he wants to do personally is up to him. He has no role in politics or government or trying to negotiate fake peace deals for Putin. This is going as well as his genius Twitter buyout.
It's interesting that you unequivocally believe the guy who was shown to be lying in his whole twitter mess over the reporter with decades of credibiility.

That Starlink deal is actually great free advertising given their business model is aiming for Western customers who presumably are likely to be close to a provider with a cheaper and superior fiberoptic backbone. Selling to it's ideal third world customer in underserved broadband areas is more realistic but is not what their potential share price is suggesting Maybe he's stocked up 4-8 years worth of orange spray tan and is deploying his next long Con endeavor when the original gasbag huckster kicks the bucket.
it's interesting you unequivocally believe a hit piece on a major enabler of Ukrainian success in the current war.
fascinating thread on the purported movement of the "cargo" that ended up on the Crimean bridge. let's just say the (possible) route was non-direct.
There are folks in rural areas where Starlink competes with other satellite companies. The numbers they're using to justify future launches don't match up with the demand that crowd will want.
There was never any money to be had in rural residential broadband services. Residential satellite services (DirecTV/Viasat/Excede, Dish/DishNET, Hughsnet/Directway, StarBand) have largely been a failure as a business model. O3B and OneWeb have had setbacks and restructures. The only reason why Intelsat has been successful is due to large government, military and commercial contracts. Starlink has solutions for most of the shortfalls all those other services have failed to resolve. This includes (much) lower launch costs, easy and affordable ESA antenna vs costly auto-acquire parabolic antennas or difficult deployment of fixed parabolic antennas, quicker refresh of their satellite fleet (5 years vs 25 years), lower cost satellites. Their LEO position also reduces latency. Then there is the technological advancements such as laser interconnects. Space laser communication is much faster vs fiber communication (Think arbitrage trading from Hong Kong to NYC). Low cost satellites also offer the opportunity for governments and even large corporations to purchase their own satellites for a much improved security and privacy solution. I wouldn't dismiss Starlink as another Musk pet project that will fail.
I wonder how dependent Tesla and SpaceX are dependent on Taiwan chips. Stuff like this makes me glad I sold most of my Tesla stock months ago.
