One thing I have heard which I don't know whether or it's true, but which turns me almost entirely against Musk if it is, is that Starlink will wreck the night skies with light pollution and wash out most of the stars.

that's really only a limitation of terrestrial telescopes, which suck for lots of reasons.
the image collection can be done beyond the LEO orbits of Starlink, and analyzed on Earth.
it's a transitory problem.

No, I mean for people standing outside looking up at the sky - that a network of thousands of blinking lights moving in straight lines will wash out most of the stars.

But, I haven't bothered to look into it at all. Just heard some scaremongering at a party.

it's not light pollution like that. It's the reflections off of the satellites causing blurred lines in the time-lapse photos that terrestrial telescopes capture.

He mistreats his workers including punishing them for speaking out about the conditions at his plants.

He uses apartheid seed money to buy companies and take credit for their technological advances

he pays those taxes because he hoards wealth at an obscene level while taking endless handouts from local, state and federal governments

starlink is good PR for him doe
I'm loving this face turn @Lars

Wtf is an nft
non-fungible token

right now, people are making NFTs out of complete shit. normal JPGs. these type of NFTs have no intrinsic value. so it's driven by market demand

in theory, there are uses for NFTs, but right now, its all a ponzi scheme that people like Logan Paul, Elon Musk, and the UFC are doing at the expense of their fans
