SpaceX has lofted about 5 times more satellites than anyone else or more thane everyone else combined in history

Elon Musk never ceases to amaze me! Bravo!

P.S. There is some confusion/ambiguity about the statement! My guess is that Musk meant to say five times more than any other organisation.

Elon Musk: "Within ~5 years, probably ~5 times as many satellites as rest of world"

"Elon Musk's company has now lofted more spacecraft than the rest of humanity combined — and its lead is likely to grow over the coming months and years.

Investor and former space-industry executive Christian Keil highlighted the achievement in a June 12 X post, which noted that SpaceX had launched 15,262 satellites as of that date. The combined total for all other companies and organizations since the dawn of the space age in 1957 was 15,138, according to Keil."
