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.

    It kind of sucks because the people working at spaceX are actually doing great things as a whole.

    Just sucks a person like muskrat is the face of it.

      The people at SpaceX are poisoning landscapes that used to be neighborhoods with toxic waste because the company doesn‘t give a shit about the environment, people or the planet. Fuck whoever works at SpaceX and partakes in this. Oh, they‘re also making Musk even more powerful so that‘s a double L.

        NASA has contracted out basically all their rockets. We need spacex. Elon needs to be in jail. If only for threatening national security with this dumb move. Never mind being a Nazi and election interference.

            HA!

            You should look into where the Nazi rocket scientists went after WW2 and how few of them saw any form of punishment for their involvement.

            And that doesn’t even take into account the pseudo-Nazis running the current US government, which is certainly what the other poster was talking about.

            Nazis and NASA are like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
