Starlink Competitor Without Musk?

Question

Is there anything on the horizon (or over it...) that might compete with Starlink for internet access?It seems like a wonderful, revolutionary service, and Musk deserves a lot of credit for his part in making it real. But I find his Twitter shenanigans and spiraling descent into politics to be pretty disturbing and don't really want to support his companies.Will there be any alternatives anytime soon?
