Two giant sites, $74B
SpaceX is planning two separate AI supercomputing centres to expand its computing capacity. Total investment is expected to reach $74B.
- Cochise County, Arizona: a $50B campus.
- Near Starbase, Texas: a $24B site with its own natural gas power plant.
Selling computing power
SpaceX is no longer just a rocket and satellite company; it now sells computing capacity to Anthropic and Google. The new sites aim to grow this commercial side.
Local pushback
The Arizona project is facing local opposition. The Texas site's own power generation also highlights the electricity demands of data centres.
Why it matters
Computing power has become a critical resource in the AI race. An investment of this scale shows SpaceX wants to be a serious player in AI infrastructure too.
