Frankly, I hope Elon wins this one. His handling of Twitter demonstrates his incompetence, and his inability to keep his mouth shut will be helpful in preparing to fight whatever BS they’re up to next. The other guy might be too smart and sneaky considering his involvement in the fake elector scheme.

      “This utility-style regulation will slow down rural broadband builds.”

      What a load of shit. As someone who lives in a rural part of Washington, can confirm that Comcast makes no fucking effort whatsoever to bring internet out here. They could give two fucks about building new lines and only care about dominating existing copper shit.

      God this makes me so mad. Fuck these assholes for making the internet actively worse for consumers.

        What? You don’t enjoy the prospect of having to pay significantly more for crappier satellite connections? Just another reason Elon is so involved - he wants to speed up the ROI for Starlink.

      Don’t forget mutual agreements by major established ISPs not to encroach on each other’s territory and actually have to *gasp* compete!
