Starlink is the entire value of the company. The space business should be done by the government, and the AI has significant negative value and the company would be worth more long term if it was just shut down. Twitter is worth maybe $5 billion, probably less.

The problem with Starlink is that as developing world countries continue to build out their cell infrastructure, Starlink becomes less valuable. The EU is building their own Starlink for military purposes.
