Musk's 250 million is going to get him billions in contracts

Rural Broadband contract being torn up and given to Musk

Joe Biden passed the infrastucture law which would provide broadband to rural areas.     Existing contractors who are in the process of implementing it are being halted.   Musk's Starlink company wants that money and Trump's new commerce secretary is obliging.

The outgoing director of the program, Evan Feinman, is writing a public letter outlining why Musk's Starlink is inferior and why the reasoning for the disruption is pure corruption.       

Folks, our government is being run by corrupt thugs - and our current Congress is willing to look the other way.   

But have a great day !

Thats all right because those contracts will still be paid out plus litigation costs. Or as Elon would say more waste, fraud and abuse.

Since Tesla is beginning to take on water just like the titanic did before sinking, I suspect Elon will be getting lots of welfare at the expense of the taxpayer. 

The democrat hack who ran the program is crying he lost his job. Note the keybwords are COULD so the article has no basis in fact. 

After 4 years this program has not connected a single home. More billions wasted. 

Then follow the law Tom and do it the right way.  When the government simply breaches a contract they don't have a leg to stand on when it goes to court. It doesn't help when an insider gets the contract as most judges will see that as not passing the smell test. 

Several states have largely been completed.  THey are just awaiting the final approval to turn the lights on.

But regardless - the process for awarding those contracts was standard bid and award.  Elon is just bribing the government in exchange for contracts....and deregulation of his businesses.

Tom, dont you think in light of this flagrant corruption that your fabricated "pay for play" ficiton  about Joe Biden seems ridiculously hypocritical....I mean, nevermind the fact you made it up.

Again nobody including Musk have received a contract for this.  

Mark- here is a news flash - contracts are cancelled all the time.  The prior vendor had 4 years but didn't connect a single home, so the vendor is in apparent breach of the contract for non-performance.

TDS continues.

So no conflict of interest there. Tom and Boilerman?  I mean you found all  kinds of conflict of interest with Joe Biden's civilian son getting a government job in some other country.

But Elon Musk paying 250 million in campaign contributions....and now he get to kill the departments that were suing him......fire the FAA director who grounded his launches.....and now getting billion dollar contracts?   No connecting dots there for you guys?  Because those a real dots.  They arent made up by a Russian agent like the massive bullshit you made up about Joe BIden.

I would think if you are not hypocrites you might be concerned.  But maybe you are hypocrites.   Maybe you are big ones.

PS - he's doing the same thing with the FAA contract that keeps track of airplanes.     That was already awarded to someone else too.  But now that Elon and his $250 million is around....well.....hmmm

Were you one of those MAGA folks that believed Trump when he said he would end the Russain war and lower prices on day one?

 Big things take time, I know, MAGA doesn't think about big things.

The bill was past in 2021, is that were you're getting 4 years?

"Nearly two years later, the federal government informed the states exactly how much money each will be getting. The sizes of the awards are significant: 19 states will receive over $1 billion, and the average award across the 50 states is $817 million. Texas received the largest allocation at over $3.3 billion.

The states are working with the federal government to develop plans for how they will distribute those funds. The states have until Dec. 27, 2023, to submit their initial proposals. As of Nov. 15, no state had completed that process."

"This effort differs from previous federal broadband programs because it promised to allocate the funding to individual states and allow them to figure out the best way to distribute it."

That's all the research I'm willing to put into this stupidity.

Every state is about to dole out federal funding for broadband internet – not every state is ready for the task

Contracts "are canceled" all the time. And those who "cancel" contracts unilaterally--as in welsh, as in weasel, as in abrogate, as in Trump--are liable for damages.

Stupid Tom.
