> I think every one of us is better off for tesla, neuralink, spacex and even the boring company and paypal.

None of those make me better off in any way. Some (neuralink, the boring company) have never made anyone better off except maybe in some pilot program.

They have second order effects, usually wrt competition.

Tesla might not be your favorite car, but it has created robust competition in EVs, and made the incumbent car manufacturers have to compete.

Someday if you need internet in your cabin or RV, starlink made it easier even if you don't use them.

I don't believe in either of your listed secondary effects.

How does starlink existing make it more likely for other companies to build expensive infrastructure while having to price compete with it?

hughes isn't the only game in town now.

If you've ever looked at satellite internet, hughes was not affordable, and very slow. Now starlink has shaken things up, and it is even fast enough to do real work.

I believe it's good for people who use starlink. It's just not useful for me.
