I wonder: Will Elon Musk make cell phones and a Starlink-based cellular network some day soon?

Maybe Elon Musk can provide a un-hackable, ultra-verifiable voting method/system, too.

Elon has a lot of money, but the amount of capital it takes to start a cell phone network from scratch would probably be too much even for him. Maybe he could do it by attracting investors, who love him. There would still be the issue of phones that are made that have good chips not from Apple, Qualcomm or Intel, an OS for the phones not from Apple or Google, leasing space on towers from Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile, and myriad other issues. Musk is very talented, but it would be a tall order even for him to do.
