SpaceX offers a discounted version of Starlink in Memphis in response to data center controversy

```htmlGolden Finance July 1｜SpaceX announced the launch of a discounted Starlink satellite internet service in Memphis, Tennessee, with a monthly fee at only half the standard price. This move comes as the company's data center business in the area faces strong opposition. New users can access Starlink for only $27.5 to $65 per month, a significant reduction from the standard monthly fee of $55 to $130. According to the company's statement, this discount can be shared with friends and family, and new users do not need to pay any upfront hardware fees. Earlier this year, SpaceX acquired xAI, which operates data centers in Memphis and Southaven, Mississippi. However, the company's data center operations have faced fierce resistance from the local community and environmentalists due to pollution concerns. The SpaceX Colossus data center in Tennessee currently operates using gas turbines.```
