(Bloomberg)—Elon Musk’s SpaceX won permission to deploy more than 7,000 satellites, far more than all operating spacecraft currently aloft, from U.S. regulators who also moved to reduce a growing risk from space debris as skies grow more crowded.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. has two test satellites aloft, and it earlier won permission for a separate set of 4,425 satellites — which like the 7,518 satellites authorized Thursday are designed to provide broadband communications. It has said it plans to begin launches next year.

When is everyone going to realize that Elon Musk is a supervillain whose ultimate goal is to take over the planet?  Elon is out here digging tunnels in California (sounds v safe), launching rockets & now we’re going to let him deploy over 7,000 satellites?  What exactly do you plan on doing with these satellites, Elon?  Oh, you’re going to provide broadband communications?  I don’t buy it.  You’re going to be spying on the entire planet.  Elon will have access to top secret info from every government on Earth.  And we already know that Elon is a weird motherfucker, so, you know he’s going to have access to all those Snapchats you’ve sent.  Do you really want Elon Musk to have on demand access to your dick pics?  Something must be done.
