SpaceX plans $400B compute expansion to lead AI superintelligence race, says Altimeter's Gerstner

Altimeter Capital's Brad Gerstner highlights SpaceX's massive $400 billion investment to build 10 GW of computing power next year, aiming to dominate the emerging superintelligence era. This scale could represent 25% of new U.S. compute capacity, fueling larger AI models and data growth. While SpaceX bears the capital costs, chipmakers like NVIDIA currently reap the profits. Gerstner also suggests a Tesla merger could help finance this expansion, but warns of risks including demand slowdown and depreciation. NVIDIA's strong margins and financing edge position it well amid this AI compute race.

SpaceX shares are trading at USD 147.80 on Pluang as of Oct 23, 2026 00:21 WIB, down 7.21% in one day. Tesla's stock price is USD 379.17 with a 1.89% decline, while Nvidia is priced at USD 213.17, falling 3.92% in the same period. These movements come as SpaceX plans a massive $400 billion compute buildout, impacting the tech and industrial sectors on Pluang.
