“Since the government program isn’t working, that’s pretty much what’s happening anyway [@iowahawkblog] Wait'll they realized that if we really wanted to hook up 8 million rural households with broadband we could just skip this bullshit, buy all of them Starlink terminals at $400 apiece, and save 92% off the DC retail politics price tag”

“Try it out! [@VaibhavSisinty] Did xAI just mass-murder the entire voice AI industry? 🤯 Grok just launched two voice APIs. Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech. Built on the same stack powering Tesla cars and Starlink support. And priced at 10x cheaper than ElevenLabs. Speech-to-Text: $0.10/hr batch.”

“@WholeMarsBlog So many well off critics don’t understand that demand at scale is limited by affordability. There is plenty of demand for our products, but if the price is more money than people have, that demand is irrelevant.”

“@dirtnapdragon @Tesla So if we raise prices in the future, will you cut Tesla a check? Can’t have it both ways.”
“@ajtourville @Starlink @FCC By the way, the price could be much less if the government didn’t insist on so many crazy requirements that add no value”
“@WholeMarsBlog To add to the confusion, the IRA credit *does* apply to a leased Model 3 long range, which is why the lease price is lower than a Model 3 Performance”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Starlink prices must roughly match the rate of inflation in any given country”
