Do not mistake Elon Musk’s capitulation for compliance

Starlink’s parent company SpaceX, while a privately held company like Xitter, is not built on the shaky foundation of ads and engagement. It’s a serious company that does real things, supported in large part by government contracts.

Musk owns more than half of SpaceX, and his fellow fascist techbro Peter Thiel’s fund holds another 10%. But companies like Fidelity and Google also own major stakes and likely have members on the board to counter Musk’s cronies when his activities on Xitter impact their profits.
