Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht responded to Elon Musk’s claim that Starlink is the only network capable of managing the rapid bandwidth expansion required for AI tasks. Knecht noted that bandwidth is only part of the equation, explaining that current congestion control protocols generally rely on stable paths and consistent round-trip times, neither of which apply to low-Earth orbit satellites. He suggested that innovation is required across the entire stack and proposed that the two companies work on these solutions collaboratively. Musk replied by stating that he had forwarded the suggestion to the Starlink team.
