Probably not as fast as they claim either tbh
We typically use fairly modern E-Band Links at work (which this probably is, being marketed as mmWave lol), they do like 3-5 Gbps max at 1 GHz of bandwidth (which already requires really beefy radio equipment, I kinda doubt a super compact one can handle that). If you do XPIC (basically adding another radio at a different polarisation) you can reach higher speeds of course.
Also, the images make it look like they're using a phased array instead of an actual parabolic antenna so that would reduce gain as well I assume.
All in all I'm sure it works (P2P wireless is not that hard) but I call moderate leves of bullshit

Excellent. The fewer things that Musk controls, the better.
The Telegraph's Ukraine the Latest podcast reported earlier that the Starlink outage two years ago during the Ukrainian summer counteroffensive was directly due to Musk ordering it shut down.
The man has blood on his hands.
The man is also a nazi who puts his bloody hands in the air like this:
