Claim

Space superconductor company Zenno observed that every planet's magnetic field is free and can simply be harvested, counting 18.8 million kilometres of superconducting tape and urging strip-mining of the solar system, as Musk calculated that Starship-launched satellites mean a hundredfold bandwidth and $200 billion a year.

Reported metric: 18.8M km of tape

Reporting date: (not necessarily the event date)
