Investors Overreacting To Starlink's Threat To Traditional Telcos; Goldman Says
Talk of space-based data centers has suddenly become a major conversation on Wall Street. One key driver is Elon Musk's merger of SpaceX with his AI venture, xAI, aiming to eventually build "orbital data centers" at scale.
With a potential IPO later this year, the space industry - first in low-Earth orbit, then on the moon - will be center stage for years to come.
Goldman analysts, led by Andrew Lee, hosted a webcast titled "Space - Datacentres Opportunity and Telecom Risk," featuring Justin Hotchkiss (Associate Partner), Gregor Eichler (Principal), and Federico Torri (Partner) from TMT consultancy Altman Solon.
The webcast conversation looked ahead to a future in which space-based data centers could become a reality.
Goldman's telecom analysts and tech consultants discussed two major ideas:
Space data centers: Not yet deployed, but could become a reality in the near term. The advantages are low-cost solar power in space, easier cooling, no property costs, and no permitting issues. One big hurdle is the need for cheaper rocket launch costs and a lightweight cooling system. If launches drop below $200/kg and cooling hardware is very light, the cost could start to look similar to building on Earth.
Satellite connectivity for telecoms: It already exists, but investors are overreacting to the idea that satellites will "replace" traditional telcos. Satellites (especially LEO networks like Starlink) have limited capacity, variable service quality, and challenging economics for serving many everyday urban customers. They're most useful where building cell towers or fiber is expensive: rural, sparsely populated, higher-income areas. Think of Starlink and other LEO networks as complementary to telecoms.
A major technological leap is underway in space-based communications. Data centers in space are likely to become a reality within this decade, thanks to SpaceX's Starship rocket. Goldman's webcast suggests that Starlink and other LEO constellations should be more complementary than competitive to telcos for the foreseeable future.
Lee noted:
In the longer term, space data centres appear an increasingly likely reality. More relevant today, our conversation suggests the extent of investor concerns on satellite competition to telecoms and towercos are overstated - as we wrote in our 2025 satellite/telco report.
Satellite technology is more likely to be complementary rather than competitive to telcos due to satellite capacity constraints, service quality restrictions, and inferior economics for the majority of geographies. Telcos can leverage satellites to extend their own network coverage into rural areas where terrestrial build-out is costly.
Investing world impacts:
This would imply modest downside risk to towerco growth if rural connectivity is partially rerouted via satellites.
For towercos including Cellnex and INWIT, some of this satellite risk is already priced into their shares, but we do not see a catalyst for a re-rating in the near term.
For telcos including TMUS (majority owned by DT), where satellite risk to its broadband growth has pressured the share price, we see scope for a rerating as investor concerns over satellite risk abate over time and ongoing consensus upgrades continue.
We retain our bullish view on European telcos as laid out in our recent report - select Buy ideas include BT, Nordics, DT, KPN. We outline our key takeaways from the satellite webcast below.
The big question is: At what point does Starlink start to challenge them directly?

Nikita Bier said that Elon Musk's X was "essentially operating like a startup."

Want to work for one of Elon Musk's companies? Expect small, flat teams.
X product head Nikita Bier compared his experience at X to past jobs at Meta and Discord on the "Out of Office" podcast.
Bier said that Musk holds "weekly reviews" of one or two slides with every X engineer.
One of Elon Musk's lieutenants at X is sharing what it's like to work in the trenches with him.
There are some trademarks of a Musk company, whether it be Tesla, SpaceX, or xAI. His teams are flat, his schedule is jam-packed, and his expectations are high. In the lead-up to a big launch, expect to grind out some long hours.
X's head of product, Nikita Bier, recently opened up about working under Musk on the "Out of Office" podcast, contrasting it with his past work at Silicon Valley staples like Discord and Meta.
Bier described a "very flat organization" with lots of individual contributors reporting directly to Musk himself. There are very few managers, Bier said.
"Everyone has an incredible amount of agency," Bier said. "We come up with an idea, we build it in a week, and it's out."
Bier also said that Musk was "deep in the weeds." That's a feat for an executive who runs multiple companies (and once a government agency) at the same time.
"He does weekly reviews basically with every engineer at the company," Bier said. "You have one or two slides, you present what you got done that week, he gives feedback."
While some social media commenters expressed skepticism that every engineer received a weekly review, Musk is clearly hands-on — as evidenced by another xAI employee's podcast appearance.
Sulaiman Ghori worked on xAI's Macrohard team. He described flat teams, few managers — and a wager between Musk and an employee on how quickly he could set up a rack of GPUs. The employee won himself a Cybertruck. (Ghori, who also talked about the company's "carnival company" permit workaround for building data centers, announced he was no longer at xAI four days after the podcast was published.)
Bier also described a lean but efficient team that had "like 30 core product engineers."
"The size of the engineering team is equivalent to a feature when I worked at Facebook," Bier said. "It's essentially operating like a startup."
On X, one user asked whether these 30 employees were on the product or design team. Bier responded: "Engineers, 2 designers, 1.5 product managers and me."
It's difficult to compare engineering team sizes to the pre-Musk Twitter days — or even discern which "core" team Bier is referencing. After six months of ownership, Musk cut Twitter's staff by 90%. Five hundred engineers remained at the time.
What Bier didn't realize before working with Musk, he said, was that the executive will "always do the hard things." Consumer product builders are often looking for quick wins, Bier said. Musk chooses the most important — and difficult — thing to do, he said, from rebuilding the algorithm to building data centers.
That also means: Don't expect a lazy Friday at X.
"Every morning, every day, there's a new crisis," Bier said. "I'll just open my phone and be like: 'Oh my god.'"

Steinberger told Lex Friedman in a podcast last week that both Mark Zuckerberg and Altman had made him offers.
OpenClaw and its agent-only social media network Moltbook became wildly popular earlier this year as developers and AI enthusiasts shared clips of autonomous AI agents posting, replying, and interacting online. The open-source project, which demonstrates how networks of AI agents can coordinate to perform tasks across apps, also rapidly gained traction on GitHub.
After Steinberger's announcement on Sunday, some of the people who worked on OpenClaw commented on the news.
"I know the decision was not an easy one, and I saw firsthand the pressure Peter was under, given that he understands how fundamental this could be for the AI timeline," Jamieson O'Reilly, an OpenClaw advisor, wrote on X in a post congratulating Steinberger.

Not everyone in the tech space was as enthusiastic about the news.
XAI cofounder Igor Babuschkin asked users on X: "What's the best open alternative to OpenClaw right now? Doesn't make sense to put all your data into it if it's owned by OpenAI."
PayPal mafia member Jason Calacanis expressed similar concerns.
😔 what are the chances the open source project survives / thrives after this? https://t.co/4sUZkKWkGh
— @jason (@Jason) February 15, 2026
Steinberger and OpenAI have said that OpenClaw will remain an open-source project with OpenAI's support.
Other experts in the space pointed out that OpenAI's win could be a loss for Anthropic, especially after Steinberger wrote on X that Anthropic sent "love letters from legal."
"Another interesting detail is Anthropic's visible disdain for anything open source: their only contribution to this was legal threats," George Orosz, a tech industry analyst and author of the tech newsletter The Pragmatic Engineer, wrote on X.
Kris Puckett, a designer at Stripe, expressed a similar sentiment
Instead of @AnthropicAI getting Claudebot, they rushed legal to send a C&D and lost out on not only brilliant talent but community drive.
