    Well it’s one thing if you bought it a decade ago, before we all realized how much of an ass he is. It’s quite another if you bought it after the reality came out.

    I say this as someone that owns Starlink equipment, though the service is currently paused, with no plans to unpause it (since we can no longer work remotely, Elon). Unfortunately, Starlink is essentially the only option for remote internet service, but there are a lot of different vehicle options.

      So you bought your starlink in 2015 after which you reckon we should have known Musk was acting like a Nazi?

      10 years.

      He was maybe an arsehole 5 years ago. He wasn’t clearly Nazi until the lead up to the recent election

        Oh it’s much worse, I bought it in 2022. Unfortunately options for that type of service are extremely limited, in fact that’s the only one. I held out because I was hoping he’d have to sell SpaceX after the Twitter debacle.

        We pause the plan and use it as little as possible. We thought we might use it again this summer, but his decree means we don’t need it. The money is nothing to him, I know, but it’s amusing that his actions directly mean he won’t get more from us.

        5 years ago, the regular, non-terminally online citizen probably thought of him as the internet genius he and the media portrayed him to be.
