The deal brings xAI and Elon Musk’s social media platform X under the SpaceX banner.

Musk starts a lot of projects, but hardly ever finishes them. I thought SpaceX was all about going to Mars and launching tiny satellites. Now, they're going to do pie-in-the-sky data centers. I wonder if any investors are starting to see a problem here.

I don't like Elon, to put it mildly but data centers in space might actually solve a few problems: 1). High efficiency solar power (no atmosphere to filter light 2). Natural cooling (no atmosphere to trap heat) - no need for water cooling. 3). Free real estate.

no atmosphere means heat is trapped, no air movement to take heat away.
