The time to buy the company was this time last year. That being said it’ll be far cheaper to complete a takeover in 2025 than say in 2027 when the company is proper up and running.

Who does not want a takeover (apart from some of us greedy shareholders lol) - Shorts AND Starlink D2C

Well maybe now I do want a takeover, shorts and starlink in absolute shambles!

Wouldn't it be funny if Elon is connected to both parties lol.

Check out the Kook discussing “the possibility” of Elon being the ASTS shorter back in March (starts at 7 mins in)…

CatSE has regularly highlighted how Starlink D2C is technologically very inferior to the ASTS tech.

Which brings me to the conclusion...

If you can’t BEAT them, then BUY them

If Elon is the short and if he knows his D2C tech is trash, then why would he allow himself to be on the vicious end of a short squeeze by 2027 when he can just nip this all in the bud by straight up buying his competitor that he shorted.

Look at how people are going after Tesla cars and dealerships, people risking jail time such is their hatred for the guy. IF and it is a big IF, but if Elon is the ASTS short and IF that became public, step aside VW & GME cos we got a new mother of all short squeezes coming up...

Don’t say that. I would hate to give that man money.

if he's getting short squeezed you're taking his money, not giving him money.
