By fusing SpaceX and xAI—which acquired X last year—Elon Musk tightens his grip over technologies that shape national security, social media, and artificial intelligence.

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.

      In space the idea is to use orbits where they can catch 24 hours of sun.
