19-year-old streaming sensation, IShowSpeed has revealed he dreams of live streaming from space but will need the help of Elon Musk in attaining such an incredible feat.

Speaking in a recent interview with Forbes, Speed expressed his thoughts on the vision of pushing the boundaries of streaming.

“I wanna take live streaming more higher,” Speed said.

“One day I wanna do a stream in space. Once I get in contact with Elon Musk—I have so much ideas that could really go crazy.”

“I wanna do streams where I’m on the plane and I’m still streaming on the plane. But Elon Musk has that right now. He has a Starlink that can be put on a plane and stuff,” he added.

For now, Speed is focused on a more earthbound mission in streaming from every country in the world.

Though it seems tough, he believes he definitely has what it takes to pull it off.

“First off, I want to do a stream at every country. I have a lot of stuff coming up [in] 2025. A lot of different stuff when it comes to streaming,” he said.

Speed’s ongoing global tour has already produced some memorable and bizarre moments.

Back in 2024, he got into a “bark-off” with a police officer in South Korea, was hospitalized in England, faced off with a viral gnome in Poland, and was kissed by a male fan in Bulgaria.

Asked about how he decides which countries to visit, Speed revealed that it is often a decision he takes in the moment.

“I gotta do them all. I got to stream in every country, but it’s more of a feeling. Once I have that feeling, I’m like, ‘You know what? I’m going to Poland.’ ‘You know what? Let’s go around South America,’ you know? It’s really just a feeling.”

Speed’s assistant, Slipz, looked to have confirmed his ambitions in a post on X on Saturday, and wrote: “Africa, Europe, Middle East, South America, rest of Asia all before 2026 World Cup.”

It remains unknown for now as to whether or not IShowSpeed’s space-streaming dreams will become a reality.

However, the streamer is determined to keep breaking new ground in the ever-evolving world of live content and continues to rack in millions of viewers by the day.
