@arstechnica This quote from the article tells me that the whole analysis is suspect: “Because Starlink is part of SpaceX's portfolio, the company's true financial situation is private.”

Unless we see the books, I remain exceedingly skeptical that they are actually cash flow positive solely from organic operations.
