Microsoft just announced a partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink.
It adds another revenue stream for Musk’s company right before the IPO.
The deal is part of Microsoft’s push to bring internet access to underserved regions around the world.
They’ve already connected over 299 million people through various partnerships.
Now they’re partnering with Starlink to reach even more.
The first phase starts in Kenya, where Microsoft and Starlink will connect 450 community hubs across the country.
But it goes well beyond Kenya.
Microsoft says they’re combining Starlink’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites with local infrastructure partnerships across Africa, Latin America, and India.
Starlink already has over 10 million subscribers in 160 countries.
It already controls 97% of all satellite internet traffic worldwide.
Airlines, governments, and the U.S. military already depend on it.
And now the world’s largest software company just added Starlink to its global connectivity strategy.
This new Microsoft deal brings more Starlink subscribers to SpaceX before the company goes public.
That’s on top of the launch contracts, the Pentagon’s Golden Dome project, and the xAI merger that pushed the valuation to 1.25 trillion dollars.
Bloomberg reported yesterday that SpaceX could raise as much as 50 billion dollars in its IPO, with a June debut.
That’s why I’m claiming my shares right now, months before the public listing.
Here’s how you can do the same.
