Elon Musk's Starlink is adding 20,000 new users a day as it hits 9 million customers
"Moving at superspeed isn't limited to SpaceX's rockets. Elon Musk's satellite and rocket company has secured one million new customers for its Starlink internet in under seven weeks and is now active in 155 markets, the company wrote in a post on X on Monday evening. "Starlink is connecting more than 9M active customers with high-speed internet across 155 countries, territories, and many other markets," the company said."
"In a similar post from November 5, SpaceX said Starlink had 8 million customers, meaning that its customer base has expanded at a rate of more than 20,000 per day since that date. SpaceX, which uses a constellation of more than 9,000 low-orbit satellites to provide its Starlink internet connection, including to remote areas, is reportedly planning to go public next year at a valuation of $1.5 trillion."
Starlink connected 9 million active customers across 155 countries, territories and other markets, gaining one million users in under seven weeks. The network operates with a constellation of more than 9,000 low-Earth-orbit satellites to provide high-speed internet, including to remote areas. SpaceX is reportedly preparing for a public offering next year at an estimated $1.5 trillion valuation. Subscriber counts rose from 4.6 million in December 2024 to 7 million by August 2025 and then to 9 million. Global web traffic from Starlink users more than doubled in 2025, and airlines and potential mobile services are adopting the network.
