Altucher Highlights Overlooked Media Signals Around Elon Musk's Starlink Ambitions
Austin, TX, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Author and entrepreneur James Altucher has published a new account detailing what he believes may be the most important development in Elon Musk's career since the founding of SpaceX and Tesla.
The development centers on Musk's satellite internet initiative, Starlink—and the possibility of a sweeping announcement expected on August 13, 2025. While the details of such an announcement remain undisclosed, Altucher says key pieces of information are already hiding in plain sight.
What's So Special About August 13?
Altucher references August 13, 2025 repeatedly, calling it a 'pivot point.'
'After this date, the window could slam shut—and you may never have this same chance again,' he warns .
He adds: 'I believe this is the moment—when everything Elon's been building toward with Starlink finally goes public… at a level most people simply aren't prepared for'.
Why Starlink Holds a Unique Position in U.S. Infrastructure
Musk's vision for Starlink includes a global network of over 42,000 satellites beaming internet access directly to earth.
'Starlink is not just a tech company,' he writes. 'It's a private satellite grid that could one day serve as the backbone of the global internet. And right now, most Americans are completely unaware of what that means' .

Americans spend nearly half their day online — whether it's work or play — ‘eye-opening' poll shows
Wired Americans spend nearly half their day online — splitting that time almost evenly between watching videos or TV shows and working, browsing and shopping, according to a new survey. 'This new survey was eye-opening,' said Eric Bruno, senior vice president of product management for Optimum, whose telecommunications firm interviewed 2,000 US residents who have a home Internet subscription with any company for the poll. 'We were amazed to see how many hours folks are watching, shopping and browsing online on a daily basis,' Bruno told The Post. Americans are spending nearly half of their day on the internet, according to a new survey. Dusan Petkovic – 'It underscores how important a strong, affordable, and reliable Internet has become in today's world.' On average, screen-zombie Americans spend more than 10 hours daily accessing the Web. They spend 5.4 of those hours browsing, working, gaming, looking at social media, reading email or paying bills, the survey found. They spend another five hours streaming video or TV content. A majority of the people — 55% — use their television to stream shows or movies, followed by 20% with mobile phones and 25% combined using laptop or desktop computers or tablets. For general Internet consumption, a majority of customers access service from their mobile phones or computers, while 44% do so from their TV. Besides streaming videos and TV shows, nearly 80% of customers said they use the Web to browse or pay bills, 73% scour social media, 72% shop online, 37% handle work assignments and 20% complete school work. The online survey of 2,000 adults ages 18 and over who subscribe or use home Internet service was conducted between May 6-14.

Trump ‘really likes' TikTok— but admin warns Chinese ownership not acceptable as dead deadline looms
President Trump likes TikTok but the Chinese-owned short video app, used by some 170 million Americans, has to move to US ownership, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said on Sunday. 'The President really likes TikTok, and he said it over and over again, because, you know, it was a good way to communicate with young people,' Lutnick said in an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream. 'But let's face it, you can't have the Chinese have an app on 100 million American phones, that is just not okay. So, it's got to move to American ownership, it's got to move to American technology, American algorithms,' he said. 'I know the President is positive towards TikTok, if it can move into American hands.' Advertisement 3 Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that President Trump likes TikTok because 'it was a good way to communicate with young people.: FOX NEWS Lutnick's comments follow his warning last week that TikTok will have to stop operating in the U.S. if China does not approve a deal for the app. He told CNBC on Thursday that US must control the algorithm that makes the social media platform work. Advertisement TikTok parent ByteDance has a Sept. 17 deadline to divest the platform's US assets. Last month, President Trump extended by 90 days to Sept. 17, a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of TikTok. Trump's action took place despite a 2024 law that mandated a sale or shutdown by Jan. 19 of this year if there had not been significant progress. 3 President Trump has set a Sept. 17 deadline for Chinese firm ByteDance to divest TikTok's US assets. Getty Images 'China can have a little piece or ByteDance, the current owner, can keep a little piece. But basically, Americans will have control. Americans will own the technology, and Americans will control the algorithm,' Lutnick said. Advertisement 'If that deal gets approved, by the Chinese, then that deal will happen,' he added. 'If they don't approve it, then TikTok is going to go dark, and those decisions are coming very soon.' 3 A deal that was in the works this spring that would spin off TikTok's US operations into a new US-based firm stalled. Chidori_B – A deal had been in the works this spring that would spin off TikTok's US operations into a new US-based firm, majority-owned and operated by US investors. This stalled after China indicated it would not approve it following Trump's announcements of steep tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump has three times granted reprieves from federal enforcement of the law that mandated the sale or shutdown of TikTok that was supposed to take effect in January.
