*Walter Bloomberg(@DeItaone):MUSK TURNS TO NATURAL GAS TO POWER AI Elon Musk is increasingly embracing natural gas to meet SpaceX’s massive AI power needs. SpaceX plans a gas-fired power plant for its $16.8B Texas chip facility, while its Tennessee and Mississippi data centers already use dozens of gas turbines. Musk expects data-center capacity to reach 10–15 GW by 2027, potentially making SpaceX America’s largest operator. The strategy prioritizes rapid, off-grid power as AI electricity demand surges.
