SpaceX CEO and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, stated on Saturday that future Starship flights will be able to carry over 50 terabits per second worth of Starlink bandwidth to orbit. The company previously revealed that the recent Starship mission deployed an additional 26 Terabits of capacity to the constellation via Starlink V3 satellites.
SpaceX launched Starship Flight 15 yesterday, November 13, 2026, and the spacecraft is now in orbit awaiting its recovery attempt.
Here’s the latest confirmed status:

NN: Musk’s secret is setting up wholly owned verticaly intragrated data centers. Shit he even owns the satellite launch vehicles. He controls the whole enchilada. From your computer or smartphone connecting using his radio link. Then from his EarthLink satellites to their laser links ( replacing earth based fiber) connecting to orbiting data centers. using his processors and AI programs. Then back to earth on his starlink system to your computer . No cell phone providers in for a piece of the pie. No fiber optic cables to lease, no data centers to lease. And no vendor providing CPU’s. And it all runs on his AI programs.
In other words Vertically integrated data centers one company controls all the major components of its cloud AI computing data centers.
