This is so corrupt as hell. And Verizon already made all the infrastructure hardware

Guess that will be another court case

Trump will do everything for letting Musk having the power as an oligarch! Nazi’s, that’s what they are. US citizents and companys are stripped for any rights.

They have been working on this for a while. From far before Brexit. Same investors and billionaires, Saudis, Russians, Chinese, bunch of American and European a-holes too who don't care

The goal is to end democracies to install puppet state autocracies

The involved even just talk about it

Corruption. The need for a civilized purchase system is very much needed. Every purchase should be put on a webportal where lowest bidder while at same time meet quality requirements get the contract. It should be mandatory for all federal contracts so corruption don’t get a foothold like this.

They do what they want. US are now runned by a nazi regime. Elon is the boss there now, since he rigged the election for Trump.

Yeah it is. But that should not stop us from showing them the correct way.

annenafo.bsky.social•47 days ago

That’s true.

I guess America deserves this once in a while.

Corrupt AF.
on a different note, SAS announced they would start offering StarLink internet onboard their flights recently.
Sounds like a good reason to pick a different airline.

Yeah, I saw it. I can’t believe they are choosing Starlink

andersmelen.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes they had really bad timing there, will see if they will commit for the contract or not.

it's not even corruption. That is putin style oligarchy takeover. 1990's Russia in its "best" form.

annenafo.bsky.social•50 days ago

Absolutely agree 💯💯😊

So ... Verizon isn't going to do anything?

They're going to sit back and let Musk poach their already signed contract without litigating?

undercoverpirate.bsky.social•49 days ago

It's likely going to cost the government extra around damages for Verizon

The Department Of Government Efficiency

They realize that Laws don't exist in Trumpistan and opposition is punished harshly.
The FCC would likely pull Verizon's licenses for being "hostile actors threatening national security" or some other 🐂💩 excuse 🤬

annenafo.bsky.social•50 days ago

I believe you. They will find an BS excuse. Musk have hacked the election for him, so Musk will have free pass to all the money he want. 😡😡

I dunno ... fucking w/ Verizon is like fucking w/ Comcast. Musk rushes in where angels fear to tread.

Being a big US company, Verizon is no stranger to the courthouse. However most of the time the company is the defendant accused of harming their own customers.
