BREAKING: SpaceX warns Europeans could lose access to Starlink because of a new EU proposal that favors local companies over better technology.
• The EU wants to reserve part of the 2 GHz direct-to-device satellite spectrum for European operators, limiting access for companies like Starlink.
• SpaceX warned the proposal could leave Europeans without advanced satellite-to-phone services and create interference risks for emergency communications.
• Starlink has been a communications lifeline for Ukraine since Russia’s invasion and remains critical for civilian, emergency, and military connectivity.
• More than 50,000 Starlink terminals are operating across Ukraine today.
• Ukraine became the first country in Europe to deploy Starlink direct-to-cell services, allowing ordinary smartphones to connect directly to satellites.
• SpaceX says the EU proposal prioritizes where a company is incorporated instead of technical performance, economics, and consumer benefit.
• Reports indicate some EU officials specifically wanted to curb Starlink’s expansion in Europe.
• FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned the U.S. could take reciprocal action if Europe discriminates against providers like Starlink.
Starlink is the best technology available today. The public interest is best served when the best technology is allowed to compete.
@WellsJorda89710 Who is she again?
You don’t have to like Elon Musk, but calling the man behind SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, and multiple world-changing companies “unintelligent” is a wild take. That statement says more about the speaker than it does about Elon.
Everyone sells the dream without the context.
They don’t tell you:
it takes 100+ attempts before something works
90% of what you try will flop
growth is slow… until it’s not
People don’t fail because they lack capital.
They fail because they act like consumers, not builders.
they scroll instead of create
they learn instead of sell
they wait instead of ship
The internet rewards speed and distribution.
Not perfection.
🚨 RUBIO UNLEASHED!
Foreigners can now be DENIED green cards for going full pro Hamas or desecrating the American flag, per new guidance from Secretary Rubio.
No more importing civilization, destroying radicals.
Rubio made it crystal clear! Support Hamas, riot on campuses, or trash our flag… Visa denied. Green card revoked. Get out.
This is what I voted for!
