Summary
Carlos Slim’s telecom giant, América Móvil, canceled $22 billion in planned Starlink orders after Elon Musk insinuated Slim had ties to drug cartels.
The decision, made within hours of Musk’s tweet, costs Musk his main partner in 25 countries and shifts business to Chinese and European competitors, further reducing U.S. commercial influence.
Musk’s increasing political entanglements and conspiracy-laden posts are alienating key business partners and consumers, with potential ripple effects on Tesla sales.
So every U.S.Billionaire is alive because the drug and gun cartels in the U.S. by this logic right? Being that the company is a telecom company, it would be directly comparable to saying AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, and so on are all tied to illegal cartels and not just use legal lobbying that shouldn’t be allowed.
Eh I see the point you’re making but cartels in Mexico are a whole other breed to what’s here in the US. Our politicians aren’t being murdered in droves by cartels like they are in Mexico.
