[Elon Musk: Starlink May Handle Over 50% of Internet Traffic Long-Term, Annual Revenue Could Exceed $1 Trillion] BlockBeats News, August 9 – Silicon Valley investor and co-host of the 'All-In Podcast,' David Friedberg, stated that Starlink's standalone business could generate approximately $40 billion in annual revenue, most of which could be converted into free cash flow, with free cash flow potentially reaching $30 billion within a year. Starlink's valuation could hit $1 trillion within 18 months. Elon Musk responded, saying that Starlink's potential 'goes far beyond that.' With the development of AI and robotics, bandwidth demand will increase significantly, with data transmission needs being several orders of magnitude higher than those of humans. Even if the communications market only doubles in size, he expects Starlink's market share outside of China to reach at least 25%, corresponding to annual revenue exceeding $500 billion. In the long term, Starlink could handle over 50% of global internet traffic, with annual revenue potentially surpassing $1 trillion. Currently, there are no apparent obstacles to achieving this outcome. [Original Link]
