it's a (Grok) ai transcript, but I found this SpaceX/Starlink history fascinating. Detailing how Musk has been working with key people on (Reagan's) Star Wars 2.0 for decades: https://archive.today/D2zIG#:~:text=Shotwell

The only explanation I've heard for Musk's political antics that makes cold sense.

Don't look for cold sense in mr musk's adventures, just look at whole twitter saga. He is a overgrown child with brilliant mind but very little control of his emotions (on top or other real mental issues under variable control). My almost-5 year old son has in some aspects more emotional maturity than him.

Doesn't mean that stuff ain't truth of course, but his recent conservative alignment has deeply personal reasons too.

why downvoting an accurate and helpful comment?

You are right, it looks like I got a mistaken number from the Reddit (who could have predicted that).

It says here that earlier this year Starlink was seeking permission to go lower. I wonder how that went.
