Elon Musk just spent seventeen billion dollars to make every cell tower on Earth a relic. Musk: “It will allow SpaceX to deliver high bandwidth connectivity directly from the satellites to the phones.” Not through towers. Not through cables. Not through any infrastructure on the ground. Directly from orbit to the phone in your pocket. For over a century, connectivity followed the same blueprint. Build a tower. Run a cable. Expand the network one piece of ground at a time. Coverage went where the money was. Where the population density justified the investment. Everywhere else got silence. Four billion people still don’t have reliable internet. Not because the technology doesn’t exist. Because no one could justify building a tower where they live. Connectivity was never a technology problem. It was a geography problem disguised as one. Musk: “The phones that are able to use the spectrum that was acquired probably start shipping in around two years.” Two years. Then the phone in your hand connects straight to space. No tower required. No carrier infrastructure between you and the signal. The entire telecom industry was built on one assumption. That connectivity requires ground infrastructure. Every carrier. Every contract. Every coverage map. All products of that assumption. Starlink just bypassed it from orbit. From orbit, every point on Earth is equidistant. The word “remote” only exists because connectivity was built from the ground up. From space, there is no remote. There is no coverage gap. There is no place on Earth harder to reach than any other. The ground decides who gets connected based on where they are. The sky doesn’t know the difference. Human potential was always distributed evenly across the planet. Access to information never was. The gap between those two facts is the greatest waste in human history. We spent a century deciding who deserved access to information based on where they happened to be born. Musk just made that question obsolete from 550 kilometers above the answer.

Sure doesn't seem like Flock likes being monitored or surveilled

@MaricopaGOP How did a single logo get one of the country’s largest political parties’ account suspended for an entire week AND just days before a major election? Election interference or pure incompetence? Either way, it’s ridiculous.

@B1GFatMcAfee @lucaslagoons And just wait until they fall apart ... they will

@lucaslagoons I wish someone talked me out of faux rock. It looks fantastic but getting it repainted every 5 or 6 years is a pain in the ass.

Client: Can we fit a lazy river into our small backyard, turn the hot tub into a 🌋 volcano, and add an extra lazy river pump so it's not so lazy? The Whole property is a quarter of an acre. With the house and setbacks, it is a very small backyard for a lazy river. #lazyriver

They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter. Yet in just the last few days: -LAPD canceled its Flock contract. -Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage. -One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition. The surveillance state isn't inevitable. It advances when people are apathetic. It retreats when people fight back. Public pressure works. Keep pushing.

🚨🚨🚨🚨@MaricopaGOP has now been locked out of their X account for 4 days, and the election is only 8 days away! It's making the news, @thepostemail just covered it - thepostemail.com/2026/07/11/x-s… According to Grok, it was likely the result of the left complaining, not purely AI monitoring the account. --- It was almost certainly triggered by mass complaints/reports first, combined with X's automated systems (which include AI elements), rather than purely proactive automatic scanning of every post. In practice, for low-key posts like an emoji quote, it's rarely pure proactive AI scanning alone—complaints usually provide the spark, and automation does the heavy lifting. X has reduced reliance on heavy human moderation compared to pre-Musk days, which speeds things up but increases false positives (especially on partisan content). Both sides complain about this. This matches a common pattern on X for active political accounts, especially near elections in hot spots like Maricopa County. It's a temporary lockout (not a full suspension), often resolved via appeal but can involve initial automated responses.

🚨🚨🚨🚨Help @elonmusk, @X and @grok! The @MaricopaGOP has been locked out of their account 10 days before the election! They merely quote posted an inocuous political post from @WendyRogersAZ with just a generic eye emoji! 👀 x.com/WendyRogersAZ/… The left clearly complained and got them locked out due to a misunderstanding. When they complained to X, they get a runaround with AI responses. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Met Police were chased out of London last night by hordes of Muslims. One officer in hospital with serious injuries. No Keir Starmer addressing the nation? Telling they'll face the full force of the law? Sadiq Khan not saying how "welcoming" London is?

PALANTIR CTO: “FOR $10 BILLION, ELON MUSK PUT 300 ROCKETS IN ORBIT.” “FOR $11 BILLION, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS BUILT 1,600 FEET OF ELEVATED RAIL... WITH NO RAIL.”

These COVID nightmares will never be forgotten... 21-year-old Australian mom of three was violently choked by police & arrested for not wearing a mask, even though she had a medical exemption.

@KateMcGeeAZ Petty and gross public behavior ... please stop the childish banter and act like a mature statesmen not coercive politician who is intoxicated by tacit power. REPRESENT not RULE

And.... it's 12:21pm, still no settlement agreement from Recorder Heap which he claimed in his press release to have sent us this morning at 8:07am... We are in recess until tomorrow at 8:55am.

@KTAR923 Thank goodness the justice system got this right! AZ Supreme Court just slammed the brakes on the tyrannical, vampire-squid Board of Supervisors ... no more squeezing the lifeblood out of Maricopa elections and Arizona voters. Freedom wins!

Arizona Supreme Court rules Recorder Heap, not the Board of Supervisors, controls key Maricopa County election duties. The order takes effect immediately, with early voting for the July 21 primary already underway. STORY: ktar.com/arizona-politi… (Photo by Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty Images)

@Garrett_Archer Thank goodness the justice system got this right! AZ Supreme Court just slammed the brakes on the tyrannical, vampire-squid Board of Supervisors ... no more squeezing the lifeblood out of Maricopa elections and Arizona voters. Freedom wins!

JUST IN: AZ Supreme Court REVERSES Court of Appeals ruling in Heap v Galvin. Board is told Recorder funding is non-discretionary and Heap's 12 point administration plan is accepted in place of Purcell stay.

People can call themselves whatever they want but it doesn’t make it true. Humans born with penises claiming to be women doesn’t change biology. Giles calling himself a Republican doesn’t make him one. Would be like KTAR claiming to be honest, unbiased media. Self-ID isn’t reality.

Former Mesa Mayor John Giles, who is a lifelong Republican, recently announced his endorsement of Gov. Katie Hobbs for re-election as the state's highest ranking official. ktar.com/arizona-politi…

@spencerpratt who is suprised - look what comes up when you search flag in Microsoft word. Pride flag and no sign of American 🇺🇸

Gavin Newsom's CA State Park employees destroyed the Palisades & Malibu, they mocked residents in leaked texts as their homes were burning. Now, on Independence Day 250, they're hanging the American flag upside down, in full view of the burned out Malibu lots. Unreal.

@dbatura @Tesla AMERICA! God bless Looking forward to X Money.

Happy birthday 🇺🇸! Throwback to a red, white and blue track day put together with the help of some very enthusiastic employees for @Tesla Europe institutional investors at Circuit Zandvoort in 2019, to showcase American manufacturing💪 Don’t ask me about my lap times…
