📡 Starlink: Your Money, His Monopoly

Starlink isn’t profitable—so Musk keeps turning to taxpayer-funded handouts:

- $866M from the FCC in 2020 for rural broadband, despite concerns about performance issues.

- $2.3M from USAID for a project in Macedonia—while Musk calls USAID a "criminal organization" that should "die."

- Secretive DoD satellite launches with unknown amounts of govt money from the U.S. Air Force.

-And, he wants FAA to steer more billions directly to Starlink—despite federal ethics rules prohibiting this kind of influence. 3/
