Good riddance. Musk and his Musk-rats probably caused more waste than they cleaned out.

What happened to ”shut up and play”? Or does that only apply to brown people?

Taxpayers — through federal infrastructure programs — have paid billions of dollars to internet companies to hook up rural Americans. Some communities have nothing to show for it, leaving medically vulnerable rural patients disconnected and without access to telehealth.
Flawed Federal Programs Maroon Rural Americans in Telehealth Blackouts
This story was originally published by KFF Health News. Ada Carol Adkins lives with her two dogs in a trailer tucked into the timbers off Upper Mud River Road in Branchland, West Virginia. “I’m comfortable here, but I’m having health issues,” said the 68-year-old, who retired from her job as a school cook several years ago after having a stroke.
