Elon Musk’s recent online dispute with President Donald Trump could potentially threaten Starlink’s global expansion, which has seen significant growth under the current administration. The satellite broadband company currently operates in 130 countries, with many nations granting approvals partly due to White House support.
The company’s rapid expansion has been notably aided by the State Department’s diplomatic efforts, with countries like Vietnam, Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Africa recently easing regulations or granting licenses. India became the latest nation to approve Starlink’s operations just last Friday.
