It appears that Elon Musk has sent his first tweet using the Starlink internet.

SpaceX launched the first part of its ambitious satellite internet network in May 2019, deploying 60 of its Starlink satellites from its Falcon 9 rocket, which launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

SpaceX founder and CEO Musk posted to Twitter on Tuesday seemingly using the Starlink network.

Whoa, it worked!! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 22, 2019

Mashable has reached out to SpaceX to verify whether the tweet was indeed sent using the Starlink system (or whether Musk is pulling our leg).

The Starlink telecommunications project aims to have the ability to deliver high-speed internet to the entire planet. The satellites were successfully deployed in May at an altitude of 440 km above Earth, before using onboard propulsion to reach 550 km. Musk at the time described it as SpaceX's heaviest ever payload, weighing in at 18.5 tons.

It was also the most amount of satellites SpaceX had ever deployed at one time. The company initially announced its intention to launch 12,000 satellites, a number which has since been increased to a whopping 42,000 — hellooooo space junk. Just 60 are currently in orbit.
