Tesla Owners Silicon Valley(@teslaownersSV):Elon Musk on the future of @Starlink and internet traffic. "Today, we're in 167 countries, with 22 million mobile subscribers and 13 million high-bandwidth subscribers." Musk expects those numbers to grow by more than 10× over time. But the bigger shift could come from AI. Musk referenced Cloudflare's projection that, based on current growth, AI traffic could eventually become 1,000× larger than human internet traffic within five years. Think about that for a moment. The internet of the future may not be dominated by humans talking to each other. It could be dominated by AI systems talking to AI systems.
