The whole universe was supposed to be turned into paperclips, now it is being turned into graphics cards to produce images of barely legal girls on X. And Musk keeps grifting about Kardashev 2 civilizations while his rockets do not even reach the moon. If SpaceX goes public, that will rescue his xAi shares. I wonder how he will rescue his Tesla shares.
SpaceX is too big to fail. It's important for national security. I wonder if Elon wants to tangle all his businesses into SpaceX so they are all kept afloat by SpaceX's importance.
Not sure how X which “merged” wit X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX really matter or synergize but here we are. It’s all about the money being protected. And this Ketamine using wierdo is gonna be the worlds first trillionaire. Yay all of us.
I still don't understand the "data center in space" narrative. How are they going to solve the cooling issue?
Maintenance cost must be pretty fucking insane This "Space Datacenter" sounds like biggest bullshit in last decade, which is pretty damn fucking high bar.
Either this is a straight up con, or Musk found a glitch in physics. It's extremely difficult to keep things cold in space.
This is so obvious, but it's so stupid and at this scale that people find it hard to believe.

You operate them like Microsoft's submerged data center project: you don't do maintenance, whatever fails fails. You start with enough redundancy in critical components like power and networking and accept that compute resources will slowly decrease as nodes fail No operational needs is obviously ... simplified. You still need to manage downlink capacity, station keeping, collision avoidance, etc. But for a large con…
Just a neat bit of financial engineering. You can tell because Elon picked SpaceX instead of Tesla – which would have actually made sense at some level (Optimus Robots + AI). But Tesla is public and so he'd need to follow laws and reporting requirements.

It's always 2-3 years with this guy
