So Tesla and starlink don't count?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Starlink is horrible on many fronts. Just the amount of trash they've thrown into low orbit is crap. Short-term disposable satellites are not great. Now he's taking and giving access based on his own political wants.

Tesla's a pretty mixed bag. Privacy issues, quality issues, resell issues, repair issues, self-driving car failures. All the other stuff they do really well everybody else also does well.

All this stuff started off really strong when he started going batshit crazy things started getting less attractive

Tesla is publicly traded and as far as I can tell Starlink is not a company but rather a SpaceX project.
