    Ditch X, dump Tesla, and maybe one day… drop Starlink? (Just saying I’m not hearing this boycott)

      probably because for most individual consumers it’s a choice of last resort. if they had access to usable DSL/cable they’d choose that instead (cheaper, simpler), but have had to turn to starlink to get online where they live.

        id be pretty sure that the broadband expansion to rural areas projects in the biden administration was working on will grind to a halt if they havent already.

        how maga people watch musk and dismantle public services and give billions of dollars in subsidies to musk’s businesses and still think they’re fighting for them is just otherworldly levels of cognitive dissonance management
