      These guys think streaming companies suck. They want to prop up their 95 year old friends at Comcast.

    What does spacex have to do with FCC?

    Carr might also try to steer money to Elon Musk’s Starlink system. Carr was a vocal opponent of the FCC decision to deny SpaceX’s application for $886 million in government funding and claimed that “President Biden gave federal agencies a greenlight” to punish Musk after he bought Twitter.

    Something about supporting ISPs because uh free market isn’t so good?
