Elon Musk's Space X loses big government contract

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday reaffirmed its 2022 decision to deny SpaceX satellite internet unit Starlink $885.5 million in rural broadband subsidies.

The FCC said the decision impacting Elon Musk's space company was based on Starlink's failure to meet basic program requirements and that Starlink could not demonstrate it could deliver promised service after SpaceX had challeged the 2022 decision.

Tesla recalls 2 million cars with ‘insufficient’ Autopilot safety controls

This is not a very big hit like conventional cars, fix is in the software and a pretty easy one at that to limit its usage in certain geographic locations easily managed via GPS. But the negative publicity will hurt them.

Elon is too independent in the thinking arena.

You say independent. I say delusional, narcissistic and self-destructive.
