The US uses ~0.5 TW of electricity on average but to go 100% solar you would need ~3 TW of solar capacity (6X average usage) and ~30 TWh of battery storage, maybe lots more, plus a massive upgrade to the grid.

Musk never promised $1T revenue by 2030. Maybe that's the problem here.

I think there are other reasons and am capable of critical thought. A variety of synergies have been discussed publicly for at least 9 years. This article lists several of them.

This guy joked about it in 2013: https://x.com/Loh/status/362036803517169664 A Wall St analyst was asking questions about it on Tesla earnings calls in 2016 and later wrote a research note about the idea. Been wid

It's been discussed for at least a decade. A Wall St analyst even wrote a note suggesting it back in 2017 that was widely covered in the media. Most people think is very likely to happen eventually. https://www.cnbc.com&#x2F

Google is paying $12.00 per gpu-hour which costs SpaceX $1.50-$3.50. Who's taking advantage of who?

The list of people saying they're going to put compute in space is getting long. Unlikely they're all dumb or faking it. It is clearly technically feasible but how the economics will develop is still unknown. Starcloud Axi

Haha. It's less than 1,000 words that would take less than 5 minutes to read. I bet much less than half of the hundreds of HN commenters here bother to read it. Many are clearly unfamiliar with its content.

What temperature were you assuming? Because the amount of energy radiated varies with the temperature to the fourth power (P=εσT^4). Assuming very good emissivity (ε=0.95) and ~75C (~350K) operating temperature I get 808 W/m2.

Power would almost certainly mostly come from solar panels. The SpaceX-xAI press release mentions using mass drivers which are electrically powered. Could make Hydrogen-Oxygen rocket fuel but not needed in Moon's lower gravity/thi

It was originally for $15B. They raised $20B of which $2B was from Tesla. Your sources might be shady (Elektrek?).

Google, Blue Origin and a bunch of other companies have announced plans for data centers in space. I don't think cooling is the showstopper some assume.

Google, Blue Origin and at least 5 other smaller companies have announced plans to build data centers in space. My understanding is the cooling issue is not the show stopper you assume.

Context missing. This is in reference to a vision the (distant?) future where the satellites are manufactured in factories on the Moon and sent into space with mass drivers. Full paragraph quote comes from: > While launching AI satellite

A "bailout" is when a company rescued from bankruptcy. Common equity holders take large losses or are wiped out. This did not happen here. We also know the Twitter buyout debt was sold at near par before the merger with xAI which
