Elon Musk says Starlink could provide a majority of global internet access within about the next 10 years. Both outlets report his assertion that the scale of Starlink’s planned expansion could make the target achievable, but they also link the outcome to continued satellite deployment and broader system performance. TechRadar frames the claim as conditional on launching thousands more of Starlink’s next-generation satellites and on SpaceX’s Starship rocket performing as intended to support that growth. Sky News similarly relays Musk’s prediction of a timeline for reaching “majority” coverage. Neither outlet provides independent verification of the forecast or specific metrics for what percentage of global internet would be covered. The reports therefore reflect Musk’s stated ambition and the operational dependencies he highlights, while the feasibility, timing, and actual coverage rates remain subject to factors including launch schedules, satellite deployment capacity, and Starlink’s ability to sustain service at expanded scale.
