Just now, SpaceX released its first public financial report.

In the report, SpaceX officially announced a partnership with NVIDIA to launch an orbital AI computing network — Starmind.

This time, Musk aims to use a vast satellite matrix beyond Earth’s atmosphere to build an infinitely scalable, infinitely powered, absolute-zero cooling “Space AI Brain”!

Starmind is moving the foundational computing power of AI from the Earth’s surface into space.

Musk plans to use this interstellar computing network to completely solve AI’s power consumption and heat dissipation anxieties. Indeed, Earth can no longer contain him.

Everyone thought Musk’s ultimate goal was Mars, yet on the road to Mars, he casually reshaped the entire landscape of humanity’s AI computing power.

Escaping Earth: Breaking the “Deadlock” of AI Computing Power

The data revealed in this financial report is quite impressive: revenue surged 92% to $7.8 billion. Starlink users more than doubled, surpassing the 12 million mark.

However, these figures are far less captivating than the interstellar computing network.

Today’s AI development faces a deadlock — shortage of electricity, water, and land.

A large AI data center consumes as much power as a medium-sized city. Earth’s energy grid is already struggling to support AI’s evolution.

Musk said: If Earth can’t hold it, put it in space!
