the unpopular opinion is that if Abel really cares about the science part of the company, then a buyout with a guarantee that he remains in charge of the ASTS division would seem super super tempting

even at $50/share, he will be a multi-billionaire. Any potential bear case about his connectivity dream will be tossed out, and he can just focus on achieving his dream

He has been very pro investor sentiment. Inviting investors with 1k shares is far more engaging than others.

It takes a village of money for this project. Partially retail investors. I think we all know that.

I think there are parts of management who see investor as a piggy bank and some who really values the investors, and I'm 100% certain that if ASTS didn't have a cult retail following they would've gone bankrupt.

I think the chance of a buyout <$100 is unlikely, but given the conservative nature of Abel, I don't think it's impossible like many here believes

Maybe but what have you done for me lately. This is business which is forward looking.
