- EXCELLENT! SpaceX is trading rocket fuel for radio waves, trying to become a "major mobile carrier." They want to combine satellites with ground towers to beat T-Mobile and Verizon. It’s digital infrastructure, so Crypto Express 3000 approves. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? Probably just more spectrum auctions. The stock went up because investors are tired of the whipsawing. That's not fair! But wait, they need FCC approval. Does anyone have a normal cable? We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing; we just yelled at the wires. Confused-but-accurate take: Musk is essentially turning his rockets into giant Wi-Fi routers, proving that if you build enough hardware, you can eventually sell air to people who already have phones. A classic case of "rightsizing" reality into a subscription model.
