In comes starlink to the rescue. But in typical Musk fashion it won't doesn't do what's advertised and cost a shit ton more

Google and Apple and others already do that ad hoc, using signal strength from Bluetooth and WiFi beacons. Can contribute to that by just setting up a wireless access point or several near where you want more signal. Doesn't even need to be Internet-connected.

We're too dependent on a technology that we spent tens of billions of dollars researching and perfecting over decades of research!
Possibly the dumbest statement I've heard this week.

It's literally him convincing someone to sell their house that they own outright to rent from them because it's somehow much better (for him of course). It's so fucking stupid.

Remember that time he claimed Teslas windows were shatterproof and indestructable. Then he throws a baseball and the window instantly shatters?

Triangulation of what, exactly? GPS already triangulates your position based on what it receives from multiple satellites, yeah?

Triangulation of GPS signals is what allows the System to determine your Position Global(ly)

They should use that in GPS! /s

Sounds like this guy couldn't find his own ass with two hands, a compass and a GPS receiver.

Was a ball bearing. Same guy threw a baseball a couple years ago and it didn't break.

GPS literally triangulates your position using 3 satellites. It's how it works.

He sounds like the type of person who would drive into a lake if the GPS told him to

For those who are unfamiliar with it:
GLONASS (ГЛОНАСС, IPA: [ɡɫɐˈnas]; Russian: Глобальная навигационная спутниковая система, romanized: Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, lit. 'Global Navigation Satellite System') is a Russian satellite navigation system operating as part of a radionavigation-satellite service.
