SpaceX has reportedly discussed a deal with Boost Mobile to launch its own mobile service through the budget-friendly carrier, according to The Washington Post. Because apparently conquering orbit, dominating rocket launches, and beaming internet from low Earth orbit wasn't quite enough for Elon Musk - now he'd like your phone bill too.

The deal, which comes as SpaceX aims to make Starlink a "major" mobile carrier, reportedly involves the Musk-owned company either acquiring Boost Mobile outright or simply accessing its network. Musk reportedly discussed the potential agreement with Charlie Ergen, chairman of Boost Mobile's parent company EchoStar, last month.

There's a mildly awkward wrinkle: Boost Mobile's network is currently powered by T-Mobile and AT&T, meaning SpaceX may need permission from the two carriers to launch its service. Nothing says "disruptive innovation" like asking your future competitors for a hall pass.

Neither SpaceX nor Boost Mobile immediately responded to The Verge's request for comment - a silence that speaks volumes, or at least politely declines to.

In recent months, SpaceX has ramped up efforts to build out its mobile service, which will combine its satellite-to-mobile constellation with a terrestrial network. The company acquired wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar last year and recently purchased a portfolio of low-band spectrum licenses that could allow Starlink Mobile's signal to penetrate buildings - a feature that will presumably be marketed as revolutionary and not as "what walls have always done to signals."

Last month, Bloomberg reported that SpaceX is in talks to gain access to at least 80,000 cell sites in the US. That's 80,000 small steps toward becoming your new least-favorite telecom provider, or possibly your favorite, depending on how the customer service chatbot behaves.
