Elon Musk says future superintelligence compute will be 'overwhelmingly in space'
What changed
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X on 2 November 2026 that "future super intelligence compute will obviously be overwhelmingly in space", adding that he meant it "will round up to 100%" (CEO statement on X, a reply in a thread about SpaceX as a low-cost producer of compute). It is an opinion, not a project announcement: no orbital data centre capacity, date or cost was given. For cooling and power suppliers the near-term market remains on the ground, where heat rejection and grid connection are the constraints.
