In regions like Nigeria or the Philippines, Starlink costs over 100% of the average monthly income. The individual addressable rural market really is closer to 1% than 40%.


Starlink Mobile != Starlink

You're talking about the wrong product.

I am talking about Starlink mobile, their direct-to-cellphone mobile data offering, not Starlink internet...


Starlink Mobile actually reinforces my point. Most don't have phones capable of using it. And even at that, it’s a low-bandwidth designed for SMS and emergency data, not a primary ISP replacement. Of course, you can believe what it could be... Much like all of Elons products, they are always coming


Good ole Sammy has never lied


If your starting position is already that Sam Altman lies about everything that doesn't fit your preconceived positions, that doesn't seem like a very useful meaningful position to update.


The company started with a lie, it's in the name.


Ok, but he does


Yes.


Citrini’s calls have been so bad over the past 6 months that he has lost a ton of subs and is now desperate for attention.


Really? Well I stopped reading this piece when the AI generated charts showed up. Come on, that's just in poor taste.


Citrini charges like $1000/year for a subscription. It's ridiculous he is using AI generated charts.


Time to fire some more engineers and replace them with Grok.


Yeah, nothing useful, that's why they redacted 96% of useless files they released. Biden couldn't release the files because they were sealed by the DOJ. Also quite the coincidence that Epstein mysteriously died when Trump was president. But hey, nothing to see here.


His death wasn’t all that mysterious. He was on suicide watch, but his guards were negligent and didn’t actually check on him.


Oh come on. On suicide watch and was supposed to have a cell mate, two guards fell asleep, the cameras malfunctioned, and they didn't take any pictures of his body in the cell. Not mysterious at all lol (face palm)


Bro can only repeat the talking points.


As if the person he was replying to didn't do the same. What's even the point of batting for the status quo like this? Do you enjoy your knowledge being obfuscated?
