Musk is a bit of an arse but as long as he's pushing tech like this I'm ok with him.
He's trolling. The idea that there was a coup for lithium is stupid conspiracy crap. Here in Australia and Chile there's plenty of lithium, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of excess supply also.

Well, at least it will put some pressure on to the internet providers in the US.
Folks need to remember that being a not very good human being do not preclude said person to making great contributions to humanity.
For all his faults, Musk pushed an entire car industry forward, made reusable rockets real and now is in the process of providing ubiquitous satellite access on the cheap throughout the world.

What are the chances that we see an astronaut on the ISS playing xCloud games in low earth orbit within the next 2 years?
There's internet in space. There are HoloLens on the ISS. What are the chances that we see a video from Microsoft where they send up an Xbox controller and an astronaut plays Halo in space by the end of 2022? Edit: I'm sorry for making what I thought would be a fun thread. Clearly it has...

Biggest unknown is the price of the user terminal. It's an array antenna with its own motor so it can follow sattellites trajectories. On paper it seems expensive, but who knows with economies of scale.
Love to joke about overthrowing democratically elected governments in Latin America. Maybe he should add a helicopter ride bit next time to make it extra spicy. It'll send his fanboys wild.
If you can get 20ms to an Azure server with no packet loss or interruptions, cloud gaming will be fit for purpose for most gamers and game types. It'll be great until our brains melt.
Tesla buys their lithium from Australia and will soon be mining enough in the Nevada desert themselves to electrify the entire US.
The notion that he or Tesla were somehow involved or responsible is batshit insane lunacy and he was simply sarcastically responding to said batshit insane allegations.... Like seriously get a grip people. Elon doesn't have the freaking CIA in his pocket lmao.
I've been thinking about this exact same thing for the past year lol. Hopefully it happens at some point.
You are free to disagree but he has done loads of shitty things which in my opinion make him a garbage tier person. Like for example falsely accusing a diver who saves loads of kids a pedo because he didn't use his silly submarine. Or even small things like refusing to give credit to artists (one of these was of a fanart of 2B he shared and then got pissy when people asked him to credit the artist).
Don't get me wrong his companies have created a lot of great innovations, but he is a really horrible human being.
It would be amazing. Not sure how powerful the computer in the car is, but I'd love to see it.
I'm going to remain in the camp that thinks that Elon Musk is willing to sacrifice human lives in order to increase his own personal glory through business ventures.

SpaceX has tweaked their sattellites heavily since those first news reports of the train being visible. They now are coated with a dark paint on their underside to limit their reflectivity and also have a visor that shields some parts from receiving light directly. Notice how we haven't seen photos of the sattellite train lately? Also, they were only visible during their orbit parking, rising to the final position and still at relatively low altitude. Once they reach orbit they are not visible.
Musk is trash but the projects and ventures he fronts are generally extremely interesting or are pushing technology etc in the correct direction...
Starlink could bring the internet to literally anyone just about anywhere... That's some serious achievement if they keep going with it.

Yes. Generally speaking. Big difference in live streaming formats due to the lower latency over distances. Cross continent latency tends to be in the 200 ms range due to hops. Anything going to a satellite regardless of ground distance is the same. The universality and shorter distance of hops seems to be able to achieve sub 20ms latency over the same ranges which is significant. Bandwidth may be a bigger question though as I haven't seen the stats on cost per Gbps on deployment and annual upkeep redeployment. Depending on how low they can get it will determine if it is used more as a low Bandwidth/ mass coverage service (being able to get service anywhere with a sky view on earth) vs an infrastructure paradigm shift with cheaper more high def streaming and cheaper cloud hosted services because of being able to leverage cheaper data center locations in more remote locations.
Also, I dislike Elon as much as the next person but this is some pretty good stuff being enabled out of Space X. Trans oceanic cables were a massive change in global communication. This could be another.
How did you come to such a scathing conclusion? I'm curious to know
Microsoft should also make a deal with Neuralink so that the satellites could upload Craig the Brute directly to your brain.

Elon is a turd. Somebody should take his twitter away. But the science ventures his companies invest in are good things, especially everything related to SpaceX.

He's talking about "legacy" internet latency. This means that when you access a server it will be entirely through the Stalink service. Basically from the server to the satellite constellation to your receiver. Fiber is around 50% slower than a laser transferring data in a vacuum. This is why he mentions the latency improvements.

Wait.. this is the evidence thats being used to disparage the guy?... you people need to go outside more.
Read the tweet again, he's not saying zero latency internet. He is saying zero latency between their network and the ground internet network by putting relay station in datacenters/servers.
lmao the Elon Musk Defense Force sure is out in full swing here

You're telling people to go outside now, during the coronavirus pandemic, in defense of a guy who is trying to downplay the pandemic to suit his business interests.
Is there literally any response to your asking "What did he do?" that wouldn't get this same reaction from you?

If you see something like the links below, do you see it as someone defending Musk? What I see a lot is people like to have black and white discussions. You are either pure and good or the devil. We can at the same time talk about the pros and cons. There are 3.8 billion people without internet access in the world and Starlink will make access easier.

It would have if there was actual serious offenses committed by the guy. But to call a man complete "trash" over these listed items are absurd.

SpaceX's Dark Satellites Are Still Too Bright for Astronomers
The company’s attempts to dim the spacecraft in its megaconstellation fall short of eliminating disruptions to the world’s ground-based observatories
Wow, that's fantastic, this is all great news.
Shame Musk is a piece of shit... but sadly as the years go by I've come to sadly accept every huge company is run by a piece of shit
Out of curiosity, then, what do you define as an "actual serious offense"? You've said a lot of broad dismissive comments and stock insults but not actually made any specific reference to a single one of those links.
The US has 20% of the world's reported COVID cases despite having 4% of the population. Elon Musk, as a high profile climate change denier, contributes to the pandemic being out of control. His own workers expressed concern for their safety. If massive threats to human life don't count as an "actual serious offense" in your book, I end up being very skeptical that you have any line at all. Musk is in the position to contribute to more death through those statements than if he personally shot you, Bluemaster77, in the face.

And that's before the visor. Also, the astronomers say it's obvious SpaceX is taking the problem seriously and they have confidence the problem can be solved.SpaceX's Dark Satellites Are Still Too Bright for Astronomers

Are you allowed to despise Musk but appreciate the tech? End of the day, the tech is built by many people of all different races, religions and political beliefs.
Personally I think the privatization of these systems to support corporations and assholes like Elon Musk while they amass untold wealth through exploited labor/resources all while creating an image of themselves in the public as some goofy Tony Stark-ass philanthropist is indeed ultimately a bad thing and does nothing to fundamentally combat the broken system we're living in that is killing people and the planet. Instead of placing your trust in him and people like him, ask yourself what can be done better to actually address these issues in the first place in a way that doesn't involve handing the keys over to the kind of people who only care about the profit they can generate from it.If you see something like the links below, do you see it as someone defending Musk?

Very curious what you would consider a serious offense if exploited labor, harsh working conditions, anti-union practices, and anti-science hysteria, among other things, don't count.
