🚨 BREAKING: The FCC accepts SpaceX's application to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all told SpaceX "NO" when it asked to use their networks. SpaceX is building its own: This deal with Grain Management secures 546 paired licenses covering ~100% of the U.S. population, on 800 MHz low band that penetrates straight through walls and already works with almost every smartphone. Once it closes, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum in every market it touches. Elon Musk: "This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America." ITS HAPPENING

🚨 BREAKING: SpaceX just locked up 100+ GW of solar cell manufacturing equipment from German toolmaker SINGULUS to build STARMIND AI satellites The first turnkey heterojunction line arrives in Bastrop, Texas in H1 2027, running wet chemistry, vacuum coating and thermal processing under one roof. Elon Musk says most of the mass of a Starmind satellite is solar panels, meaning the solar cell factory is the satellite factory. 100 GW is enough solar for 400,000 Starmind sats “Time to make the mind of a sentient sun.”

Ironically, after the big 3 telecom put a press briefing out stating that satellite direct to phone wouldn’t be a viable solution, one of them sent an internal email to employees about there new direct satellite to phone push. They played it off in public but are sweating behind the scenes

I am now going to stand in witness and light fires of celebrate and burn my enemies in efage. As Elon Musk destroys in legacy cable companies. Mobile seems an odd place to start but it's the last place they ended up. It's where they are, time to take them out. Go get em killa! If you had any idea how deep the hatred goes for cable companies in the dark history of the internet. Don't even get me started.

@elonmusk when are you gonna make a cell phone? I’m tired of paying a ridiculous premium for iPhones. My iPhone XR, failed & replaced within 3 months, my iPhone 18 promax failed out of the box and replaced 6 weeks later. You can do so much better than Apple and you own the network.

I cant wait. I live in a very rural area that also happens to have lots of variation in elevation. As a result of towers being sparse and my home lying at a lower elevation I cant get cell service at home or in many areas around it. I have to get 15-20 minutes down the road to get reliable signal. Ive been in the situation of being In an accident that totaled my car and not being able to contact police to report it or my insurance company. This will be literally life changing.

800 MHz, and just 89 MHz of that band is NOT the win being portrayed here. There’s a reason the other monoliths didn’t buy this slice of spectrum. I reckon Elon, and the rest of his cultists, will eventually figure it out, too.

Elon is putting up a 500 mile high cell phone tower with every satellite he launches. It's not hard to understand his play here. Telecom customers are going to bankroll his Mars efforts.

The telecom giants spent decades building their empires. Elon Musk looked at the entire industry and apparently decided three major carriers weren't enough competition.

Here's hoping they do Canada too. Next step, a smart phone!

800MHz on 1980-1990 phone era lol. 5G is around 24GHz and 6G 100-300GHz so don’t get too excited about 1980’s data rates 🤡🤡🤡

Verizon and the legacy carriers think it’s just another competitor and doesn’t seem to be prepared for what’s about to happen. This has been foreseeable for a decade and they still are going to get passed standing flat footed.
