Elon Musk and T-Mobile try beating Apple with satellite vaporware

SpaceX has launched thousands of satellites in the last two years and is already operating it's "internet from space" network all over the globe.
People mocked them two years ago......and now here we are, internet from frickin outer space!
I’m not hating. I’m just realistic. Musk’s timeline, as always, is overly optimistic. He’s also known for his vaporware products that are either several years delayed or nonexistent. Semi trucks that beat the cost of rail? Self-driving robo-taxis that make owners money? The lie of Hyperloop? Battery-swapping stations for Teslas? Cybertruck delays. $35K Model 3s? New battery tech when they’re just buying Panasonic batteries.
So far Musk has mostly kept the vaporware out of SpaceX, but he’s blowing smoke up people’s asses about Mars colonization and this satellite phone service beta available in 16 months. They’ll be lucky if they have enough birds in the sky to do internal testing of this service by end of 2023. After all, they still have NASA contracts to fulfill in that time too.So it's mostly hatred of Musk that drives you?
I bet two years ago you were saying Starlink would never happen. Yet here I am, sending you a message over Starlink internet!
That's not the only thing you're wrong about, the Version 2 satellites fit on Falcon 9 and that is their plan while they increase the flight cadence of the bigger Starship.
For more details you can watch this video:
It's fair to levy criticism. If Apple were making all these promises and not delivering on them, they'd be crucified by the tech press. -
