Analysts say SpaceX's 10 GW data center goal is doable, but challenges loom
Musk claims SpaceX could build as much data center capacity in 18 months as Google did in its entire history; Semianalysis says it's possible if conditions align
Elon Musk's claim that SpaceX could build 10 GW of data center capacity in 2027 alone may be feasible, according to analysts at Semianalysis, though they note hurdles including power constraints and hardware availability. The projection would see SpaceX build as much data center capacity as Google did in its entire existence in 18 months and, if the forecast proves true, become the fastest-building hyperscaler.
