In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.
This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.
The government will not let SpaceX fail, it’s a strategic asset and Musk knows this. He is going to tie his Xai to it and saddle it with all the debt it is incurring. When the AI bubble pops he will be able to ask for bail outs to keep SpaceX afloat.
Companies that are too big to fail and need a bail out, should be automatically nationalised.
“B-b-but that will stifle innovation!”
That the reason behind all the AI datacenters in space hubub? Makes sense. The usual “subsidize the losses” strategy.
Ding ding ding!
