專家警告,馬斯克過去常有過度承諾的紀錄,面對已經有深厚護城河的電信競爭對手,SpaceX 其實沒有必要將得來不易的企業聲譽,冒險投入這個可能永遠無法完全達標的行動通訊業務。

However, the company's recent ambition to enter the mobile communications market and challenge traditional telecom giants has sparked widespread skepticism among industry analysts, who argue that the rural distribution of Starlink antennas makes deploying necessary ground infrastructure like femtocells highly impractical.
Experts warn that given Elon Musk's history of overpromising, SpaceX does not need to risk its hard-won corporate reputation by venturing into a mobile phone business against entrenched competitors with deep moats, an endeavor that may never fully materialize.
