Billionaire Carlos Slim Cancels $22 Billion in Starlink Orders Due to Elon Musk’s Outburst

Well, after the accusation, or more specifically, the monocle-wearing “that’s interesting, one should look at this and investigate further” emoji, Slim decided his giant telecoms company, América Móvil, would no longer need to spend $22 billion on Starlinks in the next few years. Initially, just about 5 minutes after Musk’s tweet, Slim canceled a $7 billion Starlink order. An hour later, the full $22 billion investment plan had been pulled. Instead, Slim is going to turn to Chinese and European companies.
“More than money, Musk lost his main partner in 25 countries, in addition to giving up all that territory to companies of his competition and, most seriously, causing the USA to continue losing commercial presence and giving it to China,” Monterey Daily Post writes.
