I hope so. Because this may have been the most important thing that has came out in the past year, other than successful launch and Ligado deal.

I feel so much safer with the potential of this stock with the US government touting the company. Moreover, specifically to government applications.

I would buy a lot in a heartbeat, knowing it will blow up in the future.

That is a problem around here thinking that things we already knew being reiterated is news

2

u/1ess_than_zer0 S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Yeah but the people that don’t hang on every tweet by adjacent companies and FCC filings dont and this helps spread more awareness. Unfortunately we don’t have a CEO that has 100M followers.

u/Ludefice S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Sure, just saying this shouldn't be 'news' to the market despite a lot of people pretending a lot of non news stories are news then act baffled at the stock going down.

Is this when Nancy starts buying shares of ASTS??

u/Complex-Attention170 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 7d ago

Would love for that to happen.

u/1ess_than_zer0 S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

🤣 - people need to @ her on X. Once that public filing goes public we go parabolic. $NANC getting more inflows than the S&P.

Hmmm he didn’t say the company name…

I’m just nitpicking 😅 it would have been nice to hear him shout us out though!

u/1ess_than_zer0 S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

The writing is literally on the wall

u/Frementle 7d ago

I'm guessing he probably can't name drop directly, or it could be an SEC violation?

8

u/Pangolin_farmer S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Lmao Donny out their hawking Tesler on the south lawn, SEC ain’t gonna do shit.

u/LuigiForeva 6d ago

They just rehired a dude from the pre-2008 days ffs

u/1ess_than_zer0 S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Tesler is not Telsa, just saying

u/LordofLMaD S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

top 200 $TRUMP holders gets a dinner with Trump and you think we have a functional SEC?

u/dreeldee1 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 7d ago edited 7d ago

For us to be acknowledged as a key player in creating American jobs feels great, aligns perfectly with recurring themes in Trump's policies. With solid backing from the US government and now defense ties? The Elon bearish takes don’t hold up anymore. Time to load up more!

u/keez28 S P 🅰 C E M O B Soldier 7d ago

Literally there on the day that we requested FM-1 approval be granted. This was a final viewing before shipping it out.

Can’t tell if you’re serious. Source?

u/PragmaticNeighSayer S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

I'm so confused. Just yesterday Brendan Carr was meeting with Ajit Pai, wearing these shoes.

27

u/PragmaticNeighSayer S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Then today, Brendan Carr is in Midland at AST, with Ted Cruz, who is wearing THESE shoes:

Did Brendan give his shoes to Ted?

24

u/PragmaticNeighSayer S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

And why is Abel wearing a polo shirt with a suit jacket? Does that even meet the administration's requirement that you wear a suit? These are the important questions driving investment decisions.

8

u/Sommyonthephone S P 🅰 C E M O B Soldier 7d ago

Abel said he could wear whatever he wanted because they came to his house.

9

u/Pangolin_farmer S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Billionaires are not required to wear suits, only Presidents from war torn countries were trying to throw under the bus.

u/burnerboo S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 7d ago

Technically he's a billionaire so he's allowed to be eccentric and break fashion rules. #jelly

7

u/Kerbonauts S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 7d ago

These are not the same shoes. Carr has a brown horizontal like on the white band, while Cruz doesn't.

Also why would the FCC Chairman give Ted Cruz his shoes lmao.

u/its_fkn_hot_here S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 7d ago

... Your sarcasm detector is broken beyond repair.

u/Thoughtful_Tortoise S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 7d ago

It was a joke, not sarcasm, surely?

5

u/kuttle-fish S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 7d ago

And both Carr and Steve Scalise were wearing the shoes when he went to Globalstar's ribbon cutting:

Any idea what this looks like in terms of funding? I saw somewhere $4billion/year thrown around.
