also I intimately know how telecom policy in this corrupt ass country works and the chances of any incarnation of this government usefully nationalizing Starlink is on par with me winning the egot not that galloway actually supports it anyway

Everyone wants the thrill (and public figures want the credibility) of supporting BIG BOLD PROPOSALS, but beyond not actually wanting to put in the hard work to realize them, they would recoil at actually getting them, because the thrill of support vaporizes when the object itself becomes mainstream

an opportunistic affluent blowhard who bought his role as a prominent tech and masculinity expert pretending to support something that's never happening is a weird "win" though I appreciate the advice

Bought his role versus earning it through organic clout farming - is that the take? He's at least a weathervane for which way the wind blows. Elon is a danger to humanity, so hating on the messenger is prioritizing clout farming even though we agree on need for action against mass corruption.

He is, and now would be a terrible time to do it, as the federal goverment has essentially been captured by the oligarchs anyways. But yeah at some point all these sattelites can't be under a single unstable man's control.
