Starlink services now have 250K users: Elon Musk

Starlink can provide internet services to more than a quarter million people from space, according to Elon Musk. There are currently more than 250,000 Starlink user terminals in operation, he hinted, not specifically saying if they were in operation.

“Over 250k Starlink user terminals,” Musk said in a tweet on Tuesday.

The terminals will keep on growing, and Musk said that in order to better internet connections, Starlink would need to upgrade its ground stations and other functions.

He said Starlink is already running in 12 countries and expanding. “We’re I think on our way to having a few hundred thousand users, possibly over 500,000 users within 12 months,” he added.
