The green light is given by Saudi Arabia in the use of Starlink by SpaceX for air and sea transport, in an agreement bearing the signature of Elon Musk and is part of a wider investment package announced during the visit of former US President Donald Trump.

This move enhances Musk’s geopolitical influence in the Middle East and opens up new opportunities for space technology in the transport sector, according to Bloomberg.

In front of an audience full of business “giants” such as Openai’s Sam Altman and Amazon’s Andy Jassy, ​​Musk not only presented Starlink. He stole the impressions with Tesla’s humanoid robots – which, as he said, “danced the dance of Trump” – and proposed additional cutting -edge technologies: Robotaxi, underground rapid transport tunnels and solutions for the “connected city of the future”.

Starlink, based on a low -track satellite network, offers a fast -paced internet from space, ideal for remote areas and mobile infrastructure. It is already utilized in Gulf countries such as Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan, and has recently been licensed in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the US, SpaceX has secured a $ 5.9 billion contract with the Pentagon, boosting the credibility of the service in the defense sector.

Although the initial use in Saudi Arabia will concern transport, it is not excluded that it will soon be extended to other areas – including home connection. Negotiations with Italy for a € 1.5 billion system are also ongoing, demonstrating Starlink’s rapid global spread.

Elon Musk continues to “build bridges” between technology, businesses and geopolitical, with Saudi Arabia added to the ever -expanding map of his space influence.
