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.

How little of an understanding of how the natural world works do you need to have to think that data centers in space are a good idea? Nothing to say of economics and logistics. Or am I missing something big here?
It would require Von Neumann machines to do it. Of, course, we could end up being turned into grey goo with that sort of tech.
But, yeah, simply invent self-replicating nanotech. Shoot it at the moon, Mars, Ceres. Viola, data centers in space. Use the same tech to clean up the enviroment and eliminate oil dependence. Might as well rebuld the coral reefs and old growth forests. Also cures cancer and the common cold. And is the fountain of youth. And we all live happily ever after in the computer.
Well there will be them there amazing Optimus robots on board to do all that maintenance, obviously. Don’t worry, the great K has thought of all the angles, genius that he is and all.
