CBS will bitch about Musk no matter what.

They are not reporting any of the corruptions that Biden cronies did.

They are not reporting any of the corruption DOGE has found at all, not even a single dollar.

All they report is anything they can twist around to make Trump look like a criminal or incompetent...................

I think your government payment for forum disruption has been suspended. You better check.

If Trump can explain how the deal is better for taxpayers, he should fight for it. But he has to get the numbers right.

Since Musk is giving it away for free, I think he's got it covered! πŸ˜’πŸ˜

Who pays you to blindly cheerlead obvious conflicts of interest?

Had a democratic president brought in Bill Gates to determine whether the computer systems were efficient and he recommended his own company should take over the operation, this site would be losing their sh%t.

There is none specified.

It’s a way of getting in the door. He said no cost at this time.

Why would a company give away their services for free to anyone forever?

Seriously?

These mad liberals must have never heard of Harry Hopkins. He was essential to FDR, lived in the WH. Unelected. Study some history and keep emotions out of it.

Know what is ironic about this? Musk’s Starlink will not work without connections to the global terrestrial internet server infrastructure. It is completely dependent on the traditional terrestrial servers. Without it Starlink is worthless.

Without the terrestrial internet there would not be any data for Starlink to transfer to their customers. Starlink is just an access link point to the rest of the internet infrastructure.

Starlink’s uplinks do not create it’s own internet... If they shut off Starlink access, Starlink is dead...

No Worries! Just wait for Amazon and Blue Origin to set up their Kuiper Internet Satellite Constellation. Blue Origin and SpaceX started around the same time. There are thousands of StarLink satellites in orbit. Kuiper keeps promising to do.....something.

His voluntary service to our country seems a fair trade for buying and using his technology if it is the best available for the job.

But since he’s providing it for free, there is zero reason to say no. No conflict.
