Starlink is already showing net income and has shown net income for at least 3 years.
There's always people out there to minimize success of others.
It's not first. It's nothing new. It's not innovative.
There's an old article in WSJ that claimed SpaceX told investors that starlink was profitable if you excluded certain costs. We found out from the IPO that that was nonsense. SpaceX was charging starlink the internal cost of launch. Not the public pricing that everyone else charges.
That makes sense if you're not trying to split the company.

The question of whether Starlink can pay for its own launches is absolutely valid, whether or not you are planning to split the company.
