  Title is garbage and doesn't match the article. You won't be able to see an ad in the sky. This is like saying TV satellites pollute the sky with ads.

  If you are outraged by this title and story, please reflect on how you consume news media.

  Emphasis mine.

  I wonder if these are the same poeple who, a few years ago, were concerned that "Evil Hackers" would access small satellites and de-orbit them at specific targets.

  Isn't this, like, a very evil thing to do?

  I know there aren't any laws there yet but why should be expect no morals at all from people with power?

  Is Elon Musk simply another bad person?
