Is there someone you trust more with your data, if so, please share.
The CIA, NSA, FBI, IRS, GRU, FSB, DIA, MI5/6/7/8 and most every other three-letter agency on the planet. They at least act rationally, are not prone to personal grudges, and care more about keeping secrets than protecting their shareholders.

Globalstar ... edit to add more detail: given Musk's history of unilaterally cancelling some individual's tesla orders, publishing car telemetry to dispute autopilot crash news stories, deciding when, how, and where Ukraine can use Starlink, and now plenty more examples of banning / censoring / downranking people as he sees fit on twitter, I'd prefer not to use a service he provides if i can get comparable capabiliti…
Can you provide details of the order cancellation? That’s a new one. Wasn’t the car telemetry only published because it went to court? Why are you upset with Musk when someone tries to defraud Tesla and they prove them wrong with data? No one else’s telemetry has been published. Meanwhile Uber have “god-mode” and can track every driver globally in realtime… and it was abused to stalk people. SpaceX donated starlinks…
I agree with everything you said but the reason people have turned on him is because he tweets like a dick too often and is really wealthy with lots of media exposure, not a small amount of it anti-Musk. Anyone that wealthy is going to get dragged in the media and when you mess with very powerful people's profits (Russia, defense contractors, American car manufacturers, and gasoline producers), you're really going to get dragged in the media. Plus the tweets.

I find it hard to believe that there aren't already intelligence satellites up there listening to as much RF as possible everywhere all the time.
The cool thing is that now you'll be able to cheaply monetize this information in order to better serve users with great perfectly-tailored advertising It'll be like a cool guy is just following you around 24/7 making sure you know what to buy and do and think
Can they animate him (or her) so I don't feel lonely too?

I've run into the reverse misconception, people think they need cell service for GPS to work.
I often experience very slow time to fix with cell service off (& having location off beforehand) - I believe this is due to Assisted GNSS/GPS which significantly improves the time for GPS to start working (the associated Wikipedia article states that ~1 minute often without it, and worst case ~12.5 minutes)
SpaceX and T-Mobile are starting a trial in late-2023 to use unmodified handsets for text (and later, voice and data) with the Starlink V2 network to remove cell coverage dead-zones. [1] [2] It's achieved by "dedicating a slice of T-Mobile's Mid-Band PCS [1.9 GHz] spectrum, to be integrated into Starlink satellites, launched next year", with each Starlink V2 satellite hosting two 5-6 meter long cell-spectrum antennas…
Remember Musks claims of FSD being X months away (for years), and SpaceX will be cheaper by orders of magnitude, and Twitter will be open to all free speech, and the cyber truck, and new roadster, etc etc? The point is, Musk has shown himself as unreliable and we can hardly trust his claims.

Musk runs his businesses like a dictator. Well, OK, it's no secret multi billion companies is not where socialists go to hide. But he can't have it both ways: if he chooses to run his companies this way, he can't complain we pin the bad stuff on him. He is not only responsible, also clearly involved in making those choices and decisions.

> This super-villain narrative of Musk is hilariously comical. Where is it coming from? That's easy: people who disagree with his recent political shift. It's extremely obvious, because I see it primarily among the progressives in my circle.
The Republican party is a Fascist party (Support for a Fascist President and supported a failed Coup) and Elon has voiced support for the Republican party, thus, Elon is a Fascist (AKA, Super Villain). It's does not take much to draw a line between the two.

Yeah no, you don't get to dismiss half the population as "fascist".

The Republican Party isn't half the population, and, even if it was, it is quite possible for half or more the population of a country to support fascism. Popularity isn't a rebuttal to accusations of fascism.
