Bloomberg reported Thursday that SpaceX is in talks to access at least 80,000 US cell sites for Starlink Mobile, roughly half the purpose-built towers in the country. Crown Castle rose almost 10% after hours while AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all fell. Pras Subramanian’s point is that Musk promised to do this from orbit, found that it did not work, and is now assembling what AT&T and Verizon already built. Then Ed Zitron, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EZPR, on the $561 million unrealized gain SpaceX booked on a company Musk also owns, his channel-stuffing charge against Nvidia, and who is funding the whole chain.
