Head of the US Department of Government Efficiency and owner of satellite internet service provider Starlink, Elon Musk, has expressed his enthusiasm for launching Starlink, his satellite-based internet service, in Bangladesh.
This development follows a meeting between Musk and Bangladesh's Chief Adviser, Prof. Muhammad Yunus, which was publicly shared on X yesterday.
Prof. Yunus posted, "Had a great meeting with Mr. @elonmusk. We agreed to work together and hope to launch Starlink in Bangladesh soon." Musk replied with a brief but promising statement: "Looking forward to it!"
A statement from the Chief Adviser's Press Wing on Thursday confirmed that extensive discussions were held between Prof. Yunus and Musk to explore potential collaboration and accelerate the entry of Starlink into the country. The talks focused on how Starlink could significantly improve connectivity, especially for Bangladesh’s youth, rural areas, underprivileged women, and remote communities.
Prof. Yunus also invited Musk to visit Bangladesh for the possible launch of Starlink, an invitation that Musk welcomed positively, further solidifying their partnership.
