SpaceX and T-Mobile will host a joint event on Thursday at 8PM ET announcing plans to โincrease connectivity.โ SpaceX โchief engineerโ Elon Musk and T-Mobileโs CEO and president Mike Sievert will be presenting at the event, which will happen at SpaceXโs Starbase launch site in South Texas, where a Starship prototype was recently loaded onto the launchpad.
The two companies havenโt revealed much more beyond that, though Musk is already teasing that the event will be โsomething special.โ The livestream link is already live.

With how little has been revealed, itโs hard to know what exactly the two companies are planning on discussing. Perhaps itโs a spectrum announcement of some kind? A partnership to strengthen both Starlinkโs sometimes-overloaded satellite internet connections in rural areas and T-Mobileโs home internet product that doesnโt have quite enough coverage? A SpaceX deal for T-Mobile subscribers? Weโll have to tune into the show to see.
