Elon Musk’s SpaceX Now Controls 80% of the Race to Orbit

SpaceX carried roughly 1,950 tonnes into orbit so far in 2026, about 80% of the global total. Elon Musk called his company “an anomaly in the matrix.” Earlier, a Tesla investor shared 2026 launch counts and argued that only China’s state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) keeps pace. Yet tracking tonnes instead of flights tilts the picture even further. Why SpaceX Mass to Orbit Leaves Rivals Far Behind The ooinsights tracker logs 2,396 tonnes sent to orbit across 236 successful launches this year. That total sits 4.7% below the same point in 2025. Even combined, the next seven providers lifted less than a quarter of SpaceX’s total. Starship explains much of the gap. Three flights of the heavy rocket alone carried 120 tonnes each, the tracker shows.
