Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has terminated cooperation with Elon Musk's Starlink company by canceling orders for $22 billion. The telecommunications giant América Móvil, owned by Slim, has decided to invest these funds in its own infrastructure to reduce dependence on external technologies, including satellite internet #Starlink. The decision was a response to the strained relationship between businessmen, which escalated after Musk's tweet pro possible ties between Slim and organized crime. This move could weaken Starlink's position in Latin America, where the company was counting on significant partnership. Instead, América Móvil plans to strengthen its network in the region.
