For context? This guy is cool and on the right side of hating Elon Musk:

@tsarstepan,
Elon Musk's X is losing users in the U.S., UK, and EU. X's own data proves it.

@tsarstepan,
After Felon Husk's recent announcement he's going to ban blocking on 'free speech grounds' I'm about ready to retreat completely to Bluesky.

@Region Philbis,
But not for their under-engineered front ends.

Go figure.

Found this on reddit - a breakdown of all the ways James Bond villains have died.

Elon Musk’s ‘Free’ Starlink for Hurricane Helene Victims Will Cost at Least $400

Upon inspection, the offer of a free month of Starlink service seems to be the type of deal you might give to any new customer.

As Elon Musk likes to do whenever disaster hits somewhere in the world, Hurricane Helene was another opportunity to show off his generosity and make himself part of the news. This time, Musk made headlines with a promise that SpaceX Starlink would be free for 30 days to help in places where fiber and cellular infrastructure might have been knocked offline. More than 200 people have been identified as dead in the disaster.

But the catch is that it’s really not free at all. It really looks like not much more than a glorified new-customer promotion.

For one, anyone interested in taking up the offer still has to pay approximately $400 for the dish itself (including shipping and tax) and they’re getting automatically rolled into a $120 per-month contract when the free month ends...

@roger,
I guess he's still pissed about losing the contract in 2022.
