SpaceX plans massive AI compute expansion, sparking a $500B data center arms race.

SpaceX aims to increase its AI compute capacity from 1.4 to 6-10 gigawatts, potentially spending $300-$500 billion in 2027 alone. This expansion is driven by lucrative inference economics, with companies like Anthropic and Google paying billions for compute capacity. Major tech players such as Microsoft, Google, and Taiwan Semiconductor face pivotal decisions as they race to secure power, chips, and land for AI infrastructure. However, risks include supply bottlenecks at Taiwan Semiconductor and potential oversupply that could disrupt current high returns on AI compute investments.
