Update: I should note that any original plans or contracts have not been verified and any cancellation of these plans or contracts have not been verified. Coverage of this is limited, indicating some traditional media don’t have enough proof to report on it. It should also be emphasized that this very high $22 billion figure is not concerning any short-term contract. My understanding from the reporting is that it was the amount Carlos Slim’s companies were expecting to spend on Starlink orders and services over the coming years (or decades) across Central and South America. But, again, I have not seen any official statement or report verifying any of this is definitely true.
ODD how the article NEVER Mentions that Carlos Slim is the Head of one of the Most Powerful Cartels South of the Border....
Point:: He bragged that HE put 3 Presidents in Office in Mexico....
Point:: His Cartel is directly connected to Janet Reno an the Arizona Mafia that helped Cheat an put that THING into the Governors office, instead of Kari Lake....
I suppose he found a way to expand his Criminal Business and Influence, an probably has/had Plans to Connect all the Cartels between Mexico and Panama via the Internet....
Just Imagine the Consequences of that happening....
Great info. Most of us dont know a lot about the cartels and their reach/influence. It is very much to our detriment that there is not a press that does deep dives that could educate us about influencers far beyond those on tik tok.
I was so proud of Queen Noor of Jordan. However, I cannot believe her relationship with this man, Carlos Slim. I think it's because he is no longer the 'richest in the world'???? Elon enters stage right. They never have enough money. Slim is Mexican and never cared about the cartels EVER!
I hope she finds a new beau....
Why does Carlos Slim not care about the cartels? He is "indirectly" linked to the cartels. You can't own the Mexican telecom industry, which is certainly used in endless drug trafficking, and not be fully aware of the illegal activities taking place. He made a fortune on prepaid phones that don't require SIM card registration. He knows that Starlink will be able to track communications that his communication businesses have protected for countless years.
Queen Noor is a philanthropist and might just want to have a new donor. I don't see them forging a relationship more than that.
He IS the Mexican Cartels Biggest Boss....
He put 3 Men into their Presidential Office, an he brags about it....
He is Directly Connected to Janet Renos Arizona Mafia....
Go research that, Janet Reno an the Arizona Mafia....
Thanks! Just did. Wow.
And now you probably don't have many questions as to who stole Kai Lakes Governorship....
There is no way he was going to spend 22 billion. This is a BS story
If true it would only hurt Slim’s company because Starlink offers the best coverage.
Jordan is the headquarters where the most dangerous terror group, the Muslim Brotherhood is given full protection and supported. Where Hamas was founded as the Palestinian branch of the MB.
Take the MB an drop them in Mexico, or any other Cartel ridden State, an they'll be fine, they get welcomed with open arms by the cartels....
