Important development on how the Biden executive branch is targeting Elon Musk properties from every angle, this time the FCC revoking a nearly billion dollar grant from 2020 to Starlink creating a brand new impossible standard that only applies to Starlink.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC· Dec 12, 2023Last year, after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, President Biden gave federal agencies the green light to go after him.
And they have.
Today, the FCC adds itself to the growing list of federal agencies engaging in the regulatory harassment of Elon Musk.
I dissent.

Doesn’t make sense. Starlink is the only company actually solving rural broadband at scale!
They should arguably dissolve the program and return funds to taxpayers, but definitely not send it those who aren’t getting the job done.
What actually happened is that the companies that lobbied for this massive earmark (not us) thought they would win, but instead were outperformed by Starlink, so now they’re changing the rules to prevent SpaceX from competing.
