@Sustainable2050
It should become common to see #fckMusk as a persona non grata.

No relationship with him in any form. If a biz is related to him avoid it, cut ties.
And he should be just the first one.
Even consumers have (limited but) choices. ✊

@Sustainable2050 Good. I'll say it again, someone else needs to come up with an alternative to Starlink

The whole world would switch

@Sustainable2050 Hate to be that guy, but this is an MSN republishing of a source named BallerAlert, which itself does not name its sources. I saw this story last night and could not source it from any better sources, so I did not share it.

There is this Spanish-language source, but it does not blame the decision on a tweet: https://expansion.mx/tecnologia/2025/02/28/america-movil-corta-lazos-con-spacex

MSN is an aggregator—fake news can get in there. Be vigilant.
