The premise, and the problem with it
The idea of investing in Starlink before it goes public is appealing for an obvious reason: Starlink is one of the most valuable private companies on Earth, and ordinary investors cannot buy it. It sits inside SpaceX, which remains private, and there is no announced plan to spin it out into a stock you can own. That leaves investors looking for a way in through the back door, and it is exactly the door that Alexander Green’s Oxford Club promo on “Elon’s Secret xPhone Partner” is trying to open.
The honest starting point is that there is no direct way to buy Starlink today. What there is, is a supply chain. Starlink buys satellites, rockets, ground hardware, and the radio components that connect them, and some of the companies that sell it those things are public.
The supply-chain route
The most direct public exposure is through the companies that sell into the constellation. SpaceX does not build every component itself; it buys launch and component services from a web of public and private suppliers. The promo points at one of them: Filtronic, a UK maker of gallium nitride power amplifiers that serve Starlink’s backhaul, the data links between satellites and ground stations.
That relationship is real and verifiable. Filtronic announced a strategic partnership with SpaceX in April 2024, and SpaceX holds equity warrants tied to deliveries. But the exposure is narrower than the pitch suggests. Filtronic’s amplifiers are one component in a backhaul link, and the company’s revenue is heavily concentrated in a single customer. As we detail in our Filtronic stock analysis, the relationship is real, but it is a long way from owning Starlink itself.
The other public doors
Beyond the supply chain, there are a few other ways investors try to get space exposure. Public competitors like AST SpaceMobile are building direct-to-device constellations of their own, and their stock is one way to bet on the broader market without needing Starlink to go public. We cover that operator in our AST SpaceMobile stock piece. There are also space-focused ETFs that bundle the launch, satellite, and component names together, and we map the whole category in our satellite communication stocks explainer.
What none of these give you is a clean claim on Starlink’s economics. Each is an indirect, diluted, or competitive exposure, and each carries its own risk. A supply-chain stock like Filtronic is not a proxy for Starlink’s growth; it is a small company whose fortunes depend on one customer’s purchasing decisions.
The honest read
The right way to think about “investing in Starlink before it goes public” is to accept the tradeoff up front. There is no direct route, and the indirect routes are imperfect by design. The supply-chain names are real companies with real contracts, but they do not replicate Starlink’s upside, and they add concentration risk on top of everything else. If you want space exposure, the sensible approach is to understand each door for what it is, and to price the stock on its own fundamentals rather than on the private company you cannot actually buy.
The fine print worth reading
Because this is a promo, the offer terms are part of the story. The pitch is sold through the Oxford Microcap Trader service at $1,995 a year, with no refunds, only a 90-day credit toward another Oxford Club letter. The ad opens by reaching for the Apple comparison, “I Haven’t Been This Excited Since Apple at 20 Cents,” and leans on the claim that Musk has “quietly spent over $40 billion assembling every piece he needs to launch a phone.” None of those details change the underlying facts about Starlink’s supply chain, but they are the frame the pitch uses to convert curiosity into a subscription.
The relevant point for an investor is that the product being sold here is a newsletter subscription, not a Starlink stake. The supply-chain company it teases is real, and the relationship with SpaceX is real, but the fee you would actually pay buys access to the recommendation and the thesis, not any ownership in the constellation. That distinction is easy to lose when the headline is “invest in Starlink before it goes public.”
There is also a timing point worth naming. If Starlink eventually does go public, the discount that made the supply-chain names interesting will largely close, because investors will finally be able to buy the real thing directly. Until then, the proxies are all that is on offer, and they are imperfect by design rather than a flaw the pitch can fix.
