Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Starlink, currently holds a significant portion of global rocket launches and a substantial number of internet satellites. This concentration of technological prowess grants him considerable influence within the geopolitical landscape. SpaceX’s rapid expansion of satellite infrastructure, particularly Starlink, has dramatically increased its presence in orbit. The strategic importance of this infrastructure positions Musk and his companies as key players in global communication and potentially, military applications. The extent of this influence remains a subject of ongoing analysis.
