“Where - exactly - are Earth people going to go in our Solar System to generate $28.5 trillion of income?”

I recently read that Starlink is the biggest money maker for SpaceX.
Have to get those satellites in space.
Maybe that’s where.
Just a guess.

Re: "Starlink"

You make a good point.

Starlink had almost $12 billion in revenue and 10 million users in 2025.

On the other hand, according to Wiki, individual subscriptions (and necessary equipment) are quite expensive.

Musk may be thinking in terms of supplying individual phone companies and NOT dealing directly with individual customers.
