Thank GOD, Kessler Syndrome avoided... for now.
Look up how many Starlink Sats were launched amd how many never even achieved stable orbit, how many decayed after one or two full orbits, and the how many that actually achieved orbit /functionally work for internet relay/, with a bunch just broken useless extremely low earth orbiti g space garbage.
I cant find the original source I used to check that out a year ago, but if memory serves we are looking at a plus 70% failure rate if you only count sats with stable orbits that actually provide internet service ( ie, survived launch and orbital insertion with their electronics intact ) as 'successful.'
Functionally the US taxpayer has subsidized Starlink to basically throw up a bunch up space debris...
... And Musk already stated last year (before his im gonna buy twitter so people will like me meltdown) that SpaceX will go bankrupt if they dont make their StarLink launches timetable.
I am pretty sure they didnt, and not continuing to recieve gov subsidies (remember when Musk tweeted... or xweeted... that all government subsidies should be cancelled, not too long ago?) ... just maybe might accelerate the bankruptcy of SpaceX.
Tesla is fucked, SpaceX is fucked, Twitter is fucked... does the Boring Company even still exist? and oh dear god Neuralink is a quadruple monster truck figure 8 demolition derby trashfireultrafuck.
Is it possible that Musk might actually go bankrupt and be sent to jail for the absurd amount of fraud he has done?
If you're reading my comment and you didn't click expand on the one above...go back and do so. It gets better and better.
Wow. Each paragraph just gets better and better. Just a bit more unhinged as it goes on.
There's a lot to criticize Musk and his companies for, but by the end of that comment it's just detached from reality.
