Elon Said this will sound super crazy, but I see a path to SpaceX being worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy
The Actual SpaceX plans from mass-produced AI data centers on Earth and reusable Starships to lunar factories, magnetic mass drivers and vast networks of orbital AI satellites.
The numbers reveal the bottlenecks.10,000 tons of hardware per gigawatt in space, adding 100 gigawatts annually would require one million tons in orbit—or 5,000 Starship launches carrying 200 tons each. Using the Moon could dramatically change that equation for another 100X or 1000X.
We explore:
• Earth’s power constraints and the economics of scaling AI.
• Starship launch rates, payload mass, fuel and cooling.
• Lunar solar panels, satellite structures and future chip factories.
• What enormous fleets of AI agents could actually produce.
• Nuclear power, reactor manufacturing and fuel supply.
• AI-driven materials discovery—and the challenge of turning discoveries into useful products.
