Sometimes, I wonder how people in the middle ages accepted the whole "Divine Right" of their ruling Kings, while simultaneously suffering under their rule.

"King George, another royal blessed by the divine."

> I am super intrigued that Elon thinks this.

He has a habit of saying things that ultimately are just hype building. I do not believe that he really believes in space data-clusters.

Starlink runs special rad-hard computers from AMD. None of that transfers to top of the line GPUs. This is crazy.

> He's got more information about space based compute deployments than any other person in the world...

He also had more information about self-driving progress than any other person in the world - yet he was wrong with his predictions every year for last 10 years.

> I will say there's a MASSIVE cost to getting power infrastructure, land, legal stuff done on terra firma; all that just sort of .. goes away when you're deploying to space, at least if you're deploying to space early and fast.

You need both power infrastructure and structures to build within for deploying in space too. And you have to build them and then put it all into space.

Cost per square foot of land is not that high basically anywhere you could build a datacentre to offset that.

We should take a hyperloop trip together, connect our nuralinks and figure this out together. Or perhaps our optimus bots can help us understand?

> like Larry Ellison, another hyper-informed genius business man

Don’t anthropomorphize Larry Ellison.

Elon doesn't think this. Elon says whatever bullshit thing comes into his head without regard for technical, economic or physical plausibility. As long as it raises the stock price!

The market has had almost a hundred years of being well-regulated, so when a sociopath lies through their teeth, we're inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. But in the last few years, that regulation has been worn down to nothing, and the result is and was entirely predictable: fraud.

This just reads like Elon trying to leverage the AI bubble to prop up SpaceX stock to me.
