SpaceX is reportedly in talks to access at least 80,000 cell sites across the U.S. as it works to build a nationwide wireless network

@ez bro, at least 80% of the workforce now wants to be cut-off. So if Elon buys it and cuts off people instead of this hunger games we play everyday, that will work out for the 80% who wants to be gone.
I mentioned this a few months back and laughed at all the brown nose but su-ks that said, don’t worry we install star link and that they were not a problem. I keep telling you all to pick up a phone and talk to your state lawmakers about how T abused foreign labor by proxy and don’t forget to mention how T gets government contracts after sending jobs to India. Once lawmakers see the “metric” that enough taxpayers are fed up with T’s games things will change. Let the government award contracts to companies that don’t outsource or insource.
“ Just buy AT&T Elon”
That probably wouldn’t work out how you might hope it would.
Ask the 50% of the workforce he cut week one.
It remains to be seen when the psycho musk will make a play for one of the three.. then it's really game over.. im thinking sometime around the same time next year.
@ar It's a little more of a threat, T built 5G and really didn't deliver on any of the promises. When 6G comes around, T will go through the same thing and be forced to spend hundreds of billions, SpaceX will likely compete for the same airwaves. T will have to counter that 6G isn't necessary. Once they have the 80K leases, they'll have the infrastructure in place.
So yeah, for the next few quarters, they won't be a major risk, go out between 5-10 years which T is chasing dividends and paying off dept, I wouldn't count them out.
I may have to switch from t mobile when it goes live.
@dk He is the sole company able to move stuff in space and SpaceX is two generations ahead of their main competitors. Think about how AT&T is re--rded and skip your Elon Derangement Syndrome.
He needs to make a profit over at space x not spend 100billion on a network
@cv not to mention the mountain of debt stink has created!
"Just buy AT&T Elon"
He's way too smart for that.
Why would anyone buy a dog of a company like this? Antiquated software full of security bugs that keep getting swept under an ever-bigger rug? No one left who knows how to maintain the stuff, and unrealistic unfunded plans to replace it all with overpriced underperforming vendor cr@p?
He didn't buy some broken down company to bring electric cars to market so he's never going to buy this dumpster fire.
@ar This will also affect the big 3. Many customers who are on the road a lot will switch to get the sat-based coverage in areas the big 3 have neglected.
AT&T still generates the majority of its revenue from mobility, not fiber. According to its 2025 annual report, AT&T generated $89.5 billion from its Mobility segment, compared with approximately $16.0 billion from fiber and advanced connectivity. Mobility accounted for about 71% of AT&T’s total $125.6 billion in annual revenue, while fiber and advanced connectivity represented roughly 13%. While fiber is an important growth investment, these numbers show that AT&T’s business and financial performance remain heavily dependent on mobility today.
At least we'll have pickleball
Nothing to worry about. We are market based, remember? And T will always reign supreme in those situations. Stankey will make sure of it.
@ar it’s negatively effecting the mobile carriers b/c Elon is and will further compete in this space. Sounds like some executive from AT&T trying to downplay the impact of Elon
Not much of a threat. Mobile carrier business for Elon is different than what we primarily do. He needs and wants his own network for all his vehicles and what will be hundreds of thousands and then millions of robots/AI he is investing massive amounts into developing.
Everything he makes needs mobile connections, and what is coming in the future is many many times over his vehicle units. He wants it all to use his network, not other carriers. Robots will mostly be indoors, thus the spectrum type he recently bought and some of the mobile technology type builds he has been looking into.
It’s too bad this hype is negatively hitting the carriers, when his plan may only potentially threaten some of the IoT business models.
He’s too smart to get into the type of mobile business the carriers mostly all deal with. Too messy, too stagnant, and no real future. He’s all about future and the evolution of tech.
Will his fully controlled privately connected robot army utilizing AI wipe us all out one day? Maybe, but that’s not a conversation for this forum.
Just buy AT&T Elon
@a9 Same for me. Whatever it is…righto
I was laid off in June and this is giving me a lot of joy
Takes time to build out a terrestrial network.
I’m not saying I’m not concerned, just that I’m not really concerned, as I am retirement eligible and waiting for the market based whatever to lay me off with my severance.
What a catastrophe
Stock headed below $20 tomorrow
And to think just yesterday stupid stink was still laughing it off. This company is a joke. Writing is on the wall now. Time to go!
