Starlink puts the last nail in the coffin of the burning man

Whatever the embers may be left burning from the original spirit of the sweat that is burning for the dear life, as the Silicon Valley tries to put it forever. The last dagger that was delivered to the Bohemia event that turned to the billionaire from the top, as Starlink from Elon Musk now provides an internet connection to the attendees, according to the Wall Street Journal.

A burning man named Kevin Leviso, the photographer, runs a camp in the temporary city called Iforgot. This year, he introduced a new feature in The Outpost: WiFi.
