Is he dumb?
Starlink is faster, more reliable, and installed with a lighter setup than normal in-plane WiFi.
Using the existing, unreliable garbage is just choosing to offer a worse, more expensive in-flight experience.
Delta Airlines will loose a lot of customers to United Airlines according to Elon Musk. All United flights will be supplied by Starlink @Starlink by the end of 2027 vs Delta with zero.
DELTA NEEDS A CEO WHO WILL PUT STARLINK ON EVERY SINGLE FLIGHT.
I'm tired of paying for Wi-Fi that can barely load an email at 30,000 feet.
Starlink already works, it's fast, and it's American.
Any airline that actually cares about its customers would have jumped on it yesterday.
Delta, time for new leadership.
I don’t think people realize how BIG SpaceX @Starlink V3 Satellites are when deployed.
When stowed inside Starship, they’re 7 m wide.
When deployed in Orbit, Starlink V3 Satellites have a 60 m (197 ft) wingspan, which is the same size as a Boeing 787’s wingspan. Huge.
Starship is designed to carry SIXTY of these.
Trump: "Elon I didn't see you back there. What are you doing so far back there?"
Elon: "I think it's worth highlighting the positive benefits of AI—SI, pardon me."
Trump: "Thank you." *slaps arm*
Most entertaining President of all time. 😭
Elon Musk in new interview on yesterday's Starship launch:
"We deployed V3 Starlink satellites, which are enormous. These are satellites with a wingspan of a 737. Next year, we expect Starship to reach a weekly or twice weekly launch cadence."
