@IterIntellectus Actually, we’re aiming for 1TW/year from Earth, rising to over 1PW/year from the Moon.
That’s why I say that if we achieve this outcome, SpaceX will obviously be worth more than Earth, because space is so staggeringly enormous!

@zerohedge SpaceX has a chance of going about half the GW next year of actually usable compute.
“Actually usable” is an important metric. It takes us ~2 months working 24/7 to get a large compute cluster working reliably. I’d guess closer to 6 months for others.

Bernie is the meme
You might not want to take Bernie too seriously on tech issues.
@aaronburnett We would be happy to take the compute back. No problem.
But I think the opposite is going to happen.
This is not the smartest move from a profit-maximizing standpoint btw, but there must be some room in this world for sentimentality or what’s the point?
Tesla self-driving now approved in Finland
Now approved in Finland 🇫🇮
Rollout begins soon
In order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027
It seems wrong that ideology and idiot are unrelated words. They’re so perfect together.
Elon Musk has a track record of calling hard problems early.
In a February 2026 interview, he warned: “Those who have lived in software land don’t realize they’re about to have a hard lesson in hardware.”
By late August, SpaceX confirmed it was bringing the casting of gas-turbine blades and vanes in-house — the single biggest bottleneck for new natural-gas power plants needed to feed AI data centers. Musk said the move could bring turbines online up to 18 months faster.
Today he put it even more bluntly: SpaceX has “a super cracked team that is outperforming the rest of the world by an order of magnitude in mass to orbit — and even we find it very difficult.”
Hardware doesn’t care about demos, funding rounds, or slide decks. The teams that actually build the hard stuff keep winning.
What a legend.

@KatieMiller I remember that time when Masa, instead of putting $12B into Tesla for a 1/4 of the company to help me take Tesla private, instead invested the money in WeWork.
That was dumb.
Taps the sign
Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank reserved enough gas turbines to generate the power of six Hoover Dams. It cost the company billions of dollars in losses.

SpaceX has ordered 100 GW/year of HJT solar manufacturing equipment from Singulus in Germany.
This is for Starmind to create a sentient sun.
🚨 BREAKING: The FCC accepts SpaceX's application to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum
Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all told SpaceX "NO" when it asked to use their networks. SpaceX is building its own:
This deal with Grain Management secures 546 paired licenses covering ~100% of the U.S. population, on 800 MHz low band that penetrates straight through walls and already works with almost every smartphone.
Once it closes, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum in every market it touches.
Elon Musk: "This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America."

SpaceX is making moves to become the first AI carrier $SPCX
• Current cell towers are still mostly “dumb” radios. The Qualcomm deal is about making them AI-native.
• Edge inference at the tower, like an updated Akamai for AI
• Starlink Direct-to-Cell and V3 satellites alongside the terrestrial build
Qualcomm’s CEO said the SpaceX agreement is finalized — not an engagement. SpaceX will build the base stations. Qualcomm supplies the silicon and the RAN accelerator for a terrestrial network he called one of the largest 5G deployments in the United States, with an AI-native architecture.
