Palihapitiya describes how Starlink enabled information warfare in Iran, creating difficulty in assessing ground truth.
“You had SpaceX enable Starlink over Iran, and then there was the attempt to use that mechanism to get information out, to fill in the mosaic.”
Palihapitiya recalls Swarm founders continuing after FCC cease and desist rather than shutting down before SpaceX acquisition.
“I remember like before Sarah and Ben sold Swarm to SpaceX, we got a cease and desist letter from the FCC.”
Palihapitiya values SpaceX's Starlink as the most important internet infrastructure project since the internet itself.
“So what am I buying? Well, I'm buying probably the most important Internet infrastructure project that's happened since the Internet itself.”
