SpaceX has paid for starlink through selling flights on their rockets, not through "subsidies like this"

You seem confused if you're flip flopping between starlink being paid for by consumers and subsidies.

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

No, they didn't. They got almost a billion a year in subsidies, which is what this whole thread is about.

Starlink is paid for by consumers and heavily subsidized by governments. It's not that hard to follow.
