“We have failed as a society to help small communities. Instead of seeing this an choosing to be better, it’s OK to let billionaires fuck up space.”
Seriously. Small towns and rural communities could have high speed network access already if they stopped voting for people that refuse to fund infrastructure spending and that bend over backwards to prevent community-based initiatives to create high speed networks! Elon’s not helping them, he’s exploiting the fact that they’ve backed people who actively keep them in the stone ages.
We already spent taxpayer money trying to get ISPs to build infrastructure out to rural areas. They all pocketed it instead.
Just like he admitted the Hyperloop was motivated by a hatred of high-speed rail programs.
