    Yeah. It’s really sad that a lot of people on remote areas in the Amazon will be affected by a ban on starlink. They also spent quite a bit of money for Brazil’s standards on the equipment as well.

    Still, this shouldn’t be the reason to put anyone above the law, no one should be above a county’s law.

    If this actually happens it may really backfire on Elon and all companies he’s involved, at least in Brazil.

    As you invested your money in one of his companies products and now because of his massive ego/lack of mental stability you either lost support, functionality or access to parts (for maintenance of hardware) and I doubt any of his companies would pay their users for this inconvenience. This would make using any of the products he’s involved with too risky, better to just use a more “mentally stable” competitor even if the service or product is slightly worse.

      You are assuming people look at this rationally. Rather than “the politicians hate a guy and I suffer”

      It is very similar to the logic by which people go out of their way to bend over backwards to support anti-consumer practices if ti is for the game or movie they want to watch.
