I noted that Starlink was running ads on X and characterized the arrangement as “Elon paying Elon.”
The post quoted @Starlink’s advertising copy; its product claims and ordering instructions were Starlink’s, not claims or instructions I made myself.
@Starlink described its internet service as fast and reliable, including in remote areas, and claimed speeds of up to 400+ Mbps. The ad listed streaming shows and sports, video calling, and browsing forums and weather apps as possible uses, including in the most rural areas.
The ad said customers could order online in under 2 minutes. My post did not identify which X ads were running, their cost, or what I meant by “Elon paying Elon” beyond that characterization.
