In the age of AI and space 2025, 12 months ago is ancient history. In 2025, SpaceX was making $18.7 billion per year and only had a near monopoly in space payload puttin gup 80-90% of payload and 80% of all satellites.
SpaceX has now locked in a $50 billion per year revenue runrate. $26 billion per year from Anthropic and Google for the Colossus 1 and 40% of the current colossus 2 data center. Still 345,000 B300 chips that could be rented at $38 billion per year. Adding 220,000-1 million GPUs per year. Power from TVA utility, Doosan 380 MW gas turbines and caterpillar gas turbines.
5 Gigawatts of power over the next 2-3 years. Plus. Gigawatts of solar and batteries and transformers. 20% of Nvidia Rubin Chip supply is allocated. Gigawatts will be added via data centers in space.
7 Megawatts per Starship launch. 130 launches per gigawatt.
$100 billion plus per year per gigawatt.
Doubling payload to version 4 starship at 200+ tons will mean 14 megawatts per Starship launch. Increasing to AIV2 satellites will increase per launch capacity to over 20 megawatts per Starship launch. AT $100 billion plus per per gigawatt, by late 2027 or 2028 SpaceX will increase the AI data center launches to $2 billion per Starship launch.
