Abel Avellan isn’t your typical billionaire. This American patriot came here legally, built a company from scratch, and is now fighting to keep America first in the space race. While coastal elites obsess over Musk and Bezos, Avellan’s AST SpaceMobile is doing what Silicon Valley pretends to care about—connecting rural heartlands and blue-collar workers without forcing fancy new gadgets on people.
His satellites let regular cellphones work anywhere—no special apps or expensive gear. That’s freedom-loving innovation, not government handouts. Farmers in Iowa, truckers in Texas, and veterans hiking the Rockies could finally get coverage without begging Washington for help. Meanwhile, D.C. bureaucrats keep pushing red tape that slows down real progress.
SpaceX and Amazon’s Project Kuiper get all the headlines, but they’re busy playing globalist games. AST’s focus on everyday Americans is a breath of fresh air. While others chase woke vanity projects, Avellan’s team raised $600 million the right way—through hard work and investors who believe in American greatness.
The left’s regulators are the real obstacle here. Imagine needing three permits just to launch a satellite that helps firefighters in Montana. China’s racing to dominate space, but our own leaders would rather tie up patriots like Avellan in paperwork than beat Beijing. Weak policies put national security at risk.
Avellan proves the American Dream still works—if government stays out of the way. He sold his last company for $550 million, created jobs, and now he’s taking on Big Tech without begging for subsidies. That’s the conservative way: innovate, compete, and let the free market decide.
While the Biden administration wastes billions on green fantasies, real innovators get ignored. AST’s satellites are ready to bridge the digital divide tomorrow, but D.C. would rather fund pie-in-the-sky social programs. Rural communities don’t need more promises—they need action.
China’s watching. If we let AST fail because of swamp politics, communist satellites will control the next frontier. Avellan’s tech could secure U.S. leadership for decades, but only if patriotic lawmakers slash the bureaucracy choking American ingenuity.
This isn’t just about cell service—it’s about sovereignty. Avellan’s story screams what makes America exceptional: legal immigrants building legacies, businesses solving real problems, and citizens refusing to kneel to foreign rivals. The silent majority should demand Washington get off his team’s back and let them win.
