Musk is threatening to take StarLink public, which would be akin to a crypto currency ICO. Of course, the public wouldn't be aware that the shares will never pay dividends, and the preferred distributions go to Elon/SpaceX, and not the shareholders.

Blocking astronomers, and they barely started:

Musk has not "threatened" to take Starlink public. IF Starlink were to go public it would not be some absurd crypto currency ICO.

And no they're not "blocking astronomers". https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/palomar-survey-instrument...

Please don't spread propaganda.
