I know the snarky here will scold but folks we’ve been defeated via fraud and now they wish to silence us through federal power and big tech leftist collusion. Elon Musk has capital and the access to more. Hes on record unhappy with techs crackdown and he had been decent to Trump. He’s obviously more libertarian than Socon but that is good enough. And most important, the man knows how to get things accomplished . We have to get a new platform universe both websites and internet hard highway to communicate and organize hopefully under Trump either dismantling the GOPe or something new that relegates the GOPe to the dustbin or history where it belongs Anyone else have a better idea speak up....thanks

How does one skirt federally regulated communication networks — legally?

Great idea. I hope Musk takes the challenge.

He’s already got thousands of communication satellites orbiting as we speak.

I’ve always advocated that we roll back our wonderful World Wide Web. Back to the days of DOS, BBS services, and sysops. I spent 20 years in IT, and the Internet, in the end, has been a Satanic scourge.

My spending sadly exceeds 30 years...

Give me a moment to recall my Compuserve acct # — 72...

I think Musk is rolling out the new line of elect cars made in China, I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I agree but I wonder if he’d want to risk his real love with Tesla. You know the left would try to destroy him for merely giving people a freedom of speech platform.

That’s true

He and his buddy Thiele also from PayPal

It’s a start

It’s more important to me right now than either killing or jettisoning the GOPe

I am very excited about Starnet.

An orbiting net of ‘stars’.

Cell towers— antiques.

WIFI — antique.

The entire world a hotspot.

And Elon Musk hates censorship. We should encourage him.

Maybe we could promise to support a military contract that incentivizes Starnet to assist free speech havens (at some post-Biden point), one that gives him free political leverage to insist on free speech, but a contract that also destroys future Starnet owners who attack free speech involving politics and history.

Heck, I would like to put someone next to Benjamin Franklin on hundreds (in a batch of currency) if he rescues freedom of speech online.

He’d build it, patent it, market it to consumers with a EULA and then you’d have a new boss... just like the old boss.

People never learn.

Dominion voting machines were hooked up to the internet. Did Google assist in the fraud?

His Starlink satellite internet service is being deployed, and should be available across the US by end of year.

Yes.

And, with a large alternet delivery system, the Internet becomes more robust and capable of real, uncensored competition.

It wouldn’t matter.
The internet isn’t the problem, the creeps running some of the popular websites are.
