<body><p>STORY: :: Joey Roulette, U.S. Business of Space Correspondent</p><p>:: Washington, D.C./ August 4, 2026</p><p>"SpaceX's first earnings call really affirmed that the company is very serious about all the plans that it wants to do in the artificial intelligence sector building data centers in space and on land. And it affirmed that Starlink remains the primary driver of the company's overall revenue that's going to fund all of these expensive projects."</p><p>"So SpaceX's overall revenue roughly doubled, and that was driven mainly by Starlink, which accounted for about 66% of its quarterly revenue. And so overall that's $7.8 billion in revenue this quarter, which is up from about $4.1 billion from the previous year."</p><p>"While SpaceX is bringing in that much money, it's also spending a lot more. $18 billion in spending overall, which is up from $2.8 billion a year prior. They're building out lots of data centers and AI infrastructure on Earth. And then they're also investing heavily in their plans to move all of those systems into space with their Starmind AI satellites, which is a longer term goal."</p><p>"But AI aside, Starlink is still the most powerful unit within SpaceX that's funding these giant development efforts."</p><p>"Subscribers have jumped to 12 million, which is millions more than last year. And we're expecting those numbers to even grow, because SpaceX wants to put thousands of other upgraded Starlink satellites in space that Elon Musk says will expand the network's capacity by like 10 times."</p><p>"However, one thing Elon said on the earnings call was that they aim to launch some of those first AI satellites as soon as next year. But it's going to take a lot more to actually build up enough power to have a data center that rivals those on Earth, and that can take several years. So what SpaceX is focused on right now is competing in the AI industry as an infrastructure provider."</p></body>
