According to The Washington Post, Elon Musk is making a push into the U.S. mobile communications market through SpaceX. After being rebuffed by the three major carriers—Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T—SpaceX has held talks with EchoStar, the parent company of budget carrier Boost Mobile, about either acquiring Boost Mobile outright or forming a partnership to gain access to its mobile network, with the goal of tapping into the $235 billion U.S. wireless market.
