- •Starlink generated $11.4 billion in revenue in 2025, serving as the financial engine behind the operation
- •SpaceX leases its excess data center capacity to Anthropic for $1.25 billion per month until May 2029
BIASES

FRANCEDOMINANT ANGLE

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
