Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

So now Elon might end up owning Echostar, which also owns DISH and SLING TV and Boost Too? I guess Charlie is looking for the golden parachute to finally retire.

Maybe... but things will live on. Not a bad thing.

Considering every partnership that Charlie has ever entered into has eventually gone to crap, this is a very strong possibility.

When you figure in what Elon is worth, it makes Charlies net worth look like pocket change. If this ends in a lawsuit like things usually do at Dish, this is one lawsuit Charlie can't win.

This partnership looks good on paper and Dish could use a reliable satellite internet service provider to be able to compete with the cable internet providers, which is where most of Dish Networks customers went to during the past 10 years. The partnership is a win win for Dish. Elon only needs Dish for their spectrum and the logistics part of the operation. If Elon really wants to roll out his starlink internet, he can use the network of installers Dish has. The self install model is not for everyone unfortunately
