Elon Musk’s Satellite Army Gains 9 Million Loyal Screen Zombies Worldwide
KEY POINTS
- •SpaceX announced Starlink reached 9 million customers worldwide by December 2025, up from 8 million in November.
- •The company operates over 9,000 satellites providing internet across 155 countries, and plans to start its own mobile carrier service.
- •Elon Musk said Starlink is the biggest revenue driver for SpaceX as the company prepares for a $1.5 trillion IPO next year.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX clocked an avalanche of 9 million Starlink customers by December 2025, zooming from 8 million in just over six weeks—adding more users daily than most people can remember their passwords. This cosmic internet empire now spans 155 countries, territories, and 'other markets' (because who can keep up with diplomacy in space?). Musk, who kickstarted this gamble back in 2002, proudly announced Starlink drives SpaceX's revenue 'by far,' which probably pleases his Tesla and Twitter ban on link sharing fans. They’re aiming for a casual $1.5 trillion IPO in 2026, fueled by 9,000 satellites orbiting above your failed home router. Bonus: Around two dozen airlines ditched buffering hopes to hitch WiFi rides with Starlink, and there's chatter about SpaceX launching a mobile carrier so your phone might finally get a signal while lost in the cosmos.

If 20,000 new Starlink users sign up daily, does that mean Elon’s just throwing WiFi from orbit like Oprah with Teslas? You get internet, you get internet!
Launching more satellites than your neighborhood launches complaints about slow internet, SpaceX’s Starlink is the space version of ‘I fixed my router!’ spoilers.
