"Nur wenige der internationalen Rivalen von Musk haben den gleichen Ehrgeiz wie SpaceSail, das von der städtischen Regierung von Shanghai kontrolliert wird. Es wurden Pläne angekündigt, in diesem Jahr 648 Leo -Satelliten und bis 2030 bis zu 15.000 einzusetzen" https://www.reuters.com/technology/musks-starlink-races-chinese-rivals-dominate-satellite-internet-2025-02-24/

Starlink faces serious competition from me since I plan to launch 10 million satellites next year
Race to fill LEO is essentially a competition of manufacturing capacity and efficiency of supply chain. I don’t see how China would lose that **in long term**. Musk himself stated multiple times that at SpaceX, designing is easy part, the hard part is manufacturing [at scale].
It has „announced plans“ to deploy 10% of Starlink’s total satellites this year, and forecasts deploying fewer than half as many satellites as Starlink’s forecasts.
Elon just got into a beef with Carlos Slim, accusing him of ties to organized crime so Slim yanked 29 billion out of future Starlink and SpaceX spending.
