This #SpaceX Situation: Not Good!

by Jason Koebler, Feb 5, 2026

Excerpt: "There are many reasons that 'AI data centers in space' may be a pipe dream and may not happen, but what he is proposing is a magnitude of #SpaceJunk that no other company could plausibly promise to launch. Data centers or not, SpaceX is now dominating #LowEarthOrbit in a way no other company or country has. While Musk has been gutting the federal government, interfering in #elections, allowing people to generate #CSAM, engaging in white supremacy, planning trips to #EpsteinsIsland, implanting #chips into people’s brains, siphoning off taxpayer money to build ridiculous tunnels, giving his sperm to whoever will take it, turning his cars into experimental robot taxis, and pretending to build #HumanoidRobots, #SpaceX has somewhat (?) quietly #colonized and dominated low earth orbit.

"Musk has taken this space for his own use, concerns about #LightPollution, satellite collisions, and telecom #monopolies be damned. This has always been concerning, but explicitly intertwining the aspirations and fate of SpaceX with Musk’s CSAM generating social media website, his #AIBullshitMachines, and his right wing political project is horrifying and monopolistic. What happens next, I have no idea."

@rickscully @bhawthorne @rsf92 @pluralistic I wish #PortlandOregon could figure out how to own it's own fiber network. We are *stuck with terrible #Monopolies that pull over $350M out of the community every year. #PersonalTelcoProject pushed for #MunicipalBroadband studies about 6 years ago but the #Metro council and city have sat on their hands since then.

This video deals with topics you cover such as #monopolies and #housing and buildings (in this video explaining the five - related to your Apr 2 @pluralistic post "Public Resource sets the law free: Rogue archivist Carl Malamud strikes again" dealing with standards bodies).
