Elon Musk Is Taking the X Playbook to Starlink
Elon Musk's SpaceX is seeking to launch up to 1 million more satellites to build data centers in space and expand its Starlink internet service. This move could help Musk secure regulatory approval and expand his control over the satellite internet market.
Elon Musk's SpaceX is asking the government to launch up to 1 million more satellites to build data centers in space that can harness the sun's power for AI. This plan is part of Musk's strategy to expand his Starlink satellite internet service, which already has over 10 million active customers in 150 countries. Starlink provides internet connectivity anywhere in the world through a flat antenna. Musk's control over Starlink has given him significant power, allowing him to restrict or grant access to the service in various countries. The company is also working on delivering satellite connectivity directly to people's smartphones without specialized hardware. Musk plans to take SpaceX public as early as June at a valuation of $2 trillion to finance his orbital data centers.
