Summary
Carlos Slim’s telecom giant, América Móvil, canceled $22 billion in planned Starlink orders after Elon Musk insinuated Slim had ties to drug cartels.
The decision, made within hours of Musk’s tweet, costs Musk his main partner in 25 countries and shifts business to Chinese and European competitors, further reducing U.S. commercial influence.
Musk’s increasing political entanglements and conspiracy-laden posts are alienating key business partners and consumers, with potential ripple effects on Tesla sales.
No, they said it right.
In this case, Elon is mouthing off like a bitch, and someone else kicked him in the dick for it (if it did really happen).
That’s really really important, because usually these guys do shit, then no one kicks them in the dick. That’s what allows them to continue doing the shit.
