Starlink Mobile: Recently, there has been a growing buzz that Elon Musk may soon launch a smartphone under the Starlink brand. Initially, Musk himself didn't completely dismiss this possibility, but now he has given a clear answer to these reports. For now, people may have to wait a long time for a Starlink phone.

Rumors on social media and Musk's response

 

A user on X (formerly Twitter) claimed, citing a Reuters report, that SpaceX might develop a phone called Starlink. Elon Musk flatly denied these speculations, writing, "We are not developing a phone." This statement made it clear that no Starlink phone is currently in development.

Why did Starlink become the center of discussion?

Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet service, providing high-speed internet through thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit. According to reports, Starlink accounts for a significant portion of SpaceX's total revenue. Last year, the company reported profits of approximately $8 billion. SpaceX recently merged with xAI, and there are talks of an IPO in the near future.

What did Elon Musk say earlier about the Starlink phone?

A few days ago, Elon Musk, in response to a post, stated that the possibility of Starlink phones in the future cannot be completely ruled out. At the time, he wrote, "It's not impossible at some point." However, he also clarified that no project in this direction has been initiated at this time.

What could the Starlink phone be like?

According to Musk, if a Starlink phone ever comes to life, it will be completely different from today's iPhones or Android phones. Their focus may be more on on-device artificial intelligence than traditional features. Musk hinted that such a phone would be designed to deliver maximum AI performance with minimal power.

Why is Starlink phone a possibility in the future?

Although Musk has currently downplayed the Starlink phone, it could prove beneficial for SpaceX in the future. Starlink has approximately 9 million users worldwide and works with more than 30 airlines. The company also holds numerous government and military contracts.

SpaceX's strategy going forward.

SpaceX's portfolio is constantly expanding. The company is working on space-tracking projects like Stargaze and is also moving forward with direct-to-device internet services in collaboration with companies like T-Mobile. Trademarks and connectivity-related patents have also been filed for names like Starlink Mobile.
