SpaceX can build a minihard AI data center in about 5 months. There’s room for six in Texas and six more in Tennessee, so a dozen could be under construction at once. Each one costs about $13B to build and could bring in roughly $27B a year in revenue, at about 40% lower cost than competitors.
Predictions for SpaceX Q3 and Q4 Earnings.
Brian Wang of NextBigFuture and Randy Kirk go through the Tesla Roadster’s cold-gas thrusters and other technology and SpaceX minihard data centers versus competitor technology.
