Elon Musk predicts that bandwidth demand will vastly exceed historical levels once AI, humanoid robots, and vehicle robots scale up.
He contrasted human output, averaging less than 1 bit per second, with computers that process billions of bits per second nonstop. In this context, Musk emphasized that Starlink will become incredibly important, stating it is "the only thing that can actually service that bandwidth."
