Earlier this year, SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell said Starlink &#8220;had a cash flow positive quarter&#8221; in 2022, and the overall SpaceX company reportedly turned a profit in the first quarter of 2023. <\/p>\n<p>SpaceX&#8217;s valuation has soared to about $150 billion, with Starlink seen as a key economic driver of the company&#8217;s goals. Two years ago, Musk emphasized that making Starlink &#8220;financially viable&#8221; required crossing &#8220;through a deep chasm of negative cash flow.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Musk has discussed spinning off Starlink to take it public through an initial public offering once the business was &#8220;in a smooth sailing situation.&#8221; But timing of a Starlink IPO remains uncertain. Last year, Musk told employees that taking the business public wasn&#8217;t likely until 2025 or later.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Elon+Musk+Says+SpaceX's+Starlink+Achieves+Breakeven+Cash+Flow%3A+https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F11%2F05%2F2314243%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/twitter_icon_large-103.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F11%2F05%2F2314243%2Felon-musk-says-spacexs-starlink-achieves-breakeven-cash-flow%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/facebook_icon_large-52.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/11\/05\/2314243\/elon-musk-says-spacexs-starlink-achieves-breakeven-cash-flow?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/11\/05\/2314243\/elon-musk-says-spacexs-starlink-achieves-breakeven-cash-flow?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk Says SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink Achieves Breakeven Cash Flow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s now two million subscribers to SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellite internet service, with CEO Elon Musk announcing Thursday that it has &#8220;achieved breakeven cash flow&#8230;&#8221; Long-time Slashdot reader SonicSpike shared this report from CNBC: Musk did not specify whether that milestone &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/?p=1199834\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1199835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101,110],"tags":[100],"class_list":["post-1199834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-slashdot","category-unfiltered-rss","tag-slashdot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1199834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1199834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1199834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1199835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1199834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1199834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1199834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
