‘We Are Not Developing a Phone’: Elon Musk Denies Reports Claiming SpaceX Developing Starlink Phone
Elon Musk denied reports that SpaceX was developing a Starlink smartphone, calling claims false and accusing Reuters of misinformation. Responding on X, Musk said no phone is in development, clarifying earlier remarks that any future device would differ from traditional smartphones and focus on advanced AI capabilities only theoretically.
Elon Musk swiftly denied reports claimed that SpaceX was developing a proprietary Starlink phone, replying directly to a post sharing a Reuters article which claimed the satellite company was creating a device to connect to its network, rival traditional smartphones and boost revenue ahead of a potential IPO. Musk’s blunt response was, “We are not developing a phone.” He also accused Reuters of repeatedly lying in related posts. The denial followed Musk’s late January comments that such a device was “not out of the question at some point” but would be “very different”, optimised for high-performance AI neural networks rather than standard applications. The clarification helped quash speculation amid Starlink’s strong growth in direct-to-device services.
