Tbh I’m almost more annoyed at the “woe is me” victim blanket he’s trying to spin here The guy knows space internet is probably one of the most geopolitically significant companies in the world right now and the fact he thinks he can sell that story reads to me that he default thinks most people are stupid.
most people are basic and basic propaganda works well on them this is precisely what he is trying to do here — win over the basic people influence is a resource where you care about masses, not individuals
What is he selling? It sounds like he turned off his private company free support service as he became privy to a Ukraine attack that he felt would be retailiated against in a global manner. New satellite tech that is higher orbit and longer life should eventually replace current low-cost starlink is my understanding
