Elon Musk: SpaceX Starlink Internet to Roll Out Nationwide

Now, Elon Musk, the CEO and founder of Starlink, revealed on his Twitter that its nationwide rollout is coming to its US users soon.

Answering one of the queries from the social media platform, Musk disclosed that Starlink plans to roll out nationwide before October comes to an end.

However, the Starlink boss noted that the initial rollout will still be the limited number of users depending on location.

That said, subscribers of Starlink in locations where there are numerous users could expect the service to be unreliable on its initial rollout.

Musk went on to assure that the internet quality, along with the user limitation, "will improve as more satellites are launched."

Key Takeaways


•   SpaceX CEO Elon Musk doesn't plan to take SpaceX public.

•   According to the company, the short-term demands of shareholders conflict with his long-term ambitions.

•   Although reports suggest SpaceX could spin-off its Starlink satellite business, Musk says he has given no thought to the possibility.

An IPO Is as Far Away as a SpaceX Mars Landing

 Musk has suggested SpaceX will remain private, as the company's long-term goals conflict with the short-term demands of public markets and stockholders. Shotwell said SpaceX could not go public until the company was flying regularly to Mars.22 SpaceX hopes to send its first cargo mission to Mars in 2022, followed by a crewed mission in 2024.3

The argument remains—opening SpaceX to the public could change its fundamental mission to Mars into a mission for profits. Musk is not likely to tap the public markets soon for an IPO unless funding from the U.S. government or institutional investors such as Google unexpectedly drops.
