For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

The one reason I can think of is to lower Starlink latency by around 1-2ms to whatever services they're providing if you're connecting directly to the satellite that does the compute, but I'd struggle to come up with many actual use cases for that there where the juice is worth the squeeze.
I can see why he'd want it since there'd be a lot of cross-sell opportunities there, i.e. use Starlink if you want lower latency to our hosted servers, and use our hosted servers if you want Starlink subscribers to have lower latency to your service. Maybe the point isn't to put a giant warehouse of supercomputers there, it's just to get enough to run a bunch of Counter-Strike 2 and TURN servers. But that's speculation on my part, I've no idea what the dozy bellend is actually thinking.
