“We’ve talked in the past about there being academic evidence, engineering studies. What we are actually seeing now with those satellites in operation is empirical evidence. You see the noise floor on our satellites increase to the degree that services cannot be provided.”

Oh look, another Elon company stiffing its contractors.

“Texas property records show that Hydroz is one of more than two dozen companies that have filed at least 72 liens since 2019 against sites developed by SpaceX and its contractors. Combined, Reuters found, the liens have sought payments totaling more than $2.5 million.”

SpaceX is building launch facilities, office buildings and even a shopping center in rural Texas, but the state's property records show the space venture and its contractors can be far slower to pay builders and suppliers than they are to break ground. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/14/companies/musk-spacex-texas-bills/ #x

or

"SpaceX Starlink satellites doing just fine after weekend solar storm, company says" https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-solar-storm-healthy-satellites ?

It can't be both. 🤷🏼‍♂️

SpaceX isn’t paying its Texas bills, report says

A Reuters analysis found that the rocket and spacecraft company has racked up more than 70 liens.

"Brian Rozelle, an owner with Houston-based Hydroz Energy Services, told Reuters that if SpaceX called today, “I’d tell them to f--k off.”

Elon seems to have studied at the (failed) Trump school of Business. If you hire contractors, just don't pay them I guess...

Surprising almost no one:

"Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful tech companies — Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent."

And regarding managers, one person posits: "Maybe managers leave shortly after mandates ... 'because it’s easier to manage a team that’s happy.'"

You might be surprised that it even includes code.
