The fact that he applied to starlink and they didn't hire him is depressing....
I don't think his personality was compatible with the corporate world.
According to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen's memorial of him[1], he turned down offers from big companies to stay independent.
This is a sad day. There's no doubt that his efforts benefitted very many people, without their knowledge.
