Elon Musk just bought spectrum to be able to sell phone service. Most of Verizon customers are conservative and hate Verizon because of years of lying, outsourcing, over billing, and treating customers like sh-t and love Elon Musk for whatever reason good or bad. That’s why Verizon is desperately trying to eliminate employees and overhead. They know people will flock to Elon and SpaceX.

From what I hear most people are tired of Elon. He’s got all those kids, with different mothers and that’s just disgusting to me. He has all this money and so many are suffering. I’m with Terry Bradshaw, what’s the point of being a trillionaire if you can’t do something good like heal world hunger or something. He gets all this aide from us as taxpayers and I’m against that. Verizon has Republicans, Democrats and Independents as customers. They have international customers too. Verizon just like AT&T and T-Mobile gives money to both Democrats and Republicans to stay politically neutral. Companies aren’t political, they’re just green. They have no loyalty. So I don’t know what you’re talking about, sounds like you just made some stuff up.
Elon has nothing on us. We bring our whole authentic selves to work and I love having the space to share my personal life with all my best friends at work! We are the best in the business, and I delight in our photo shoots and LinkedIn posts proclaiming our success. We are all superstars. Let’s go team!!!
McAdumbs beat all of them to decimate this company
Verizon emphasized that "a company can have billions of dollars of spectrum, but if they do not have the network to use it, it's just empty airwaves".
@a6 that’s true, but they can already get that. Elon won’t be any cheaper.
Elon the not see will never get my business!
Elon is nothing but a grifter. You think it will be cheap?? Guess again. What the price a month for starlink?? Hold my beer.
Yes, Starlink it a threat, but…
Per Gemini AI:
Required Growth Rates to Catch Verizon
Assuming Verizon's top-line revenue stays roughly flat to slow-growing (~1%–2% per year), Starlink would need the following compound annual growth rates (CAGR) from a $15 billion starting baseline:
5-Year Catch-Up Horizon: Requires ~55% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) every year to hit $135B.
7-Year Catch-Up Horizon: Requires ~37% CAGR per year.
10-Year Catch-Up Horizon: Requires ~25% CAGR per year.
Is that realistically possible?
A lot of people don't care about Elon particularly but they want good service and reliable coverage for reasonable money. Fact.
A lot of people hate Elon too!!!
