Elon Musk reposted a tweet from XFreeze, stating that internet access is the single biggest thing that can be done to lift people out of poverty and help them. This is because once connected, people's opportunities change completely, allowing them to learn almost anything for free, access education and information, find work, build businesses, sell goods and services to the global market, and participate in an economy far beyond their local community. This is the broader mission behind Starlink, aiming to bring low-cost, high-bandwidth internet to areas where traditional connectivity is unavailable, too expensive, or simply never reaches.
