Musk predicts Starlink (SPCX) could carry a majority of global internet within 10 years, powered by a 100x bandwidth increase from V3 satellites. Enterprise revenue surged 108%, fueled by airline deals with American Airlines (AAL) and Southwest (LUV) and over $6 billion in Starshield contracts.

On the August 4, 2026 earnings call, SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) chief executive Elon Musk predicted Starlink could carry the bulk of global internet traffic within 10 years, driven by a next-generation satellite that multiplies delivered bandwidth dramatically.
This morning, in a post on X, he expanded on just how big that could be: "Connectivity per sat will be more like 10Tb in both directions and there is a path to 100+Tb. Each sat is 250kW and will have a SpaceX-designed Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 computer." In the conference call, Musk framed Starlink V3 as a step change. "The Starlink V3 satellite is about an order of magnitude more capable than the Starlink V2 satellite, which is already a very capable satellite," he said.
SpaceX expects "to launch about an order of magnitude more Starlink V3 satellites. That would mean a roughly two order of magnitude increase in the delivered bandwidth." The revenue implication: "Even if our monetization per bit drops by a factor of 10, that would still mean a 10x increase in the revenue of Starlink." Each Gen3 satellite targets roughly 10 terabits per second bidirectional, with a path to more than 100 Tbps, with an FCC filing covering up to 100,000 Gen3 satellites accepted for filing in mid-September 2026 but not yet approved. 24/7 Wall St has helped investors make money for over two decades, and our top analysts just finished ranking the definitive Top 10 Stocks To Buy Now.

Asked how big Starlink could get, Musk went further than in prior calls. "It's not out of the question that at some point, Starlink will deliver a majority of the world's internet. At least in countries where we're allowed to operate, which is the vast majority of countries," he said.
