Spewing made-up nonsense will not help you.
Creating new threads every time your lie is exposed will not help you.
Ad hom attacks will not help you.

This has been proven incorrect.This is one article that I found. Seems it is more of the Govt. deploying the service. Do you have a link that states what Musk / Starlink is doing?
"The Biden administration has announced it is planning to deploy dozens of ground-based Starlink devices that connect with satellites to provide internet services to remote areas. And the company has said approximately 500 Starlink kits are being deployed by private individuals and organizations to help with the recovery efforts. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said the company is waiving costs in affected areas.
Elon Musk's Starlink brings internet — and politics — to storm-ravaged areas

Whatever effort you're talking about, it's separate from Musk's fake philanthropy.
Actually, the Biden Administration was stealing them and trying to take credit. Per Musk’s people on the ground:This is one article that I found. Seems it is more of the Govt. deploying the service. Do you have a link that states what Musk / Starlink is doing?
