SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been lauded for launching Starlink’s satellite internet service in Indonesia, a move aimed at enhancing connectivity in the country’s remote areas.
What Happened: On Sunday, Musk along with Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin, introduced the Starlink service for the nation’s health sector. With its vast population exceeding 270 million spread across three time zones, Indonesia stands to benefit significantly.
The tech mogul shared a video of him speaking with the press at the launch on X, formerly Twitter, and said, “Bringing connectivity to remote communities radically improves access to education and economic opportunities.”
