Summary
Elon Musk, co-leading Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” could influence U.S. broadband funding to benefit Starlink, his satellite internet company.
The Biden administration’s $42.45 billion BEAD program prioritizes fiber optics for rural broadband, but Starlink has been excluded for failing to meet performance standards.
Musk has criticized the program as wasteful and could push for funding delays or reallocation, benefiting Starlink as the only option in underserved areas.
Critics warn this shift favors Musk’s financial interests over reliable fiber infrastructure, raising conflict-of-interest concerns.
“Governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the capitalist class.”

It’s just their way of writing on something while avoiding a libel case against them.
He’s been grifting taxpayers forever. His improved access just allows him to expand it. America sucks.
No shit.
