The CEO’s Burden of Keeping Everyone Blissfully Misinformed

Imagine waking up every morning knowing your job is to walk onto a TV set, smile like you’ve just won the lottery, and deliver a script so tightly spun it could double as aerospace-grade insulation. Not because it’s true. Because it has to be.

You sit there, knowing full well your €1.5 billion “success story” is just a Band-Aid on a financial plan bleeding from the orbital gash left by merging with OneWeb. But you say it with pride: oversubscribed! Market enthusiasm! Growth story! Like you’re trying to will the truth into existence by repeating it often enough. It’s almost noble, in a tragic Shakespearean sort of way.
