Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry, better known as Foxconn, has reportedly secured its first contract to manufacture artificial intelligence (AI) servers for Elon Musk's SpaceX, marking a major expansion of its AI infrastructure business.
According to Taiwan's Economic Daily, the agreement could be worth about $52 billion, based on SpaceX's reported plan to deploy more than 13,000 AI server racks powered by Nvidia's next-generation GB300 chips. With each rack estimated to cost around $4 million, the deal would represent one of the largest AI server orders in the industry.
The report said the contract would end the previous dominance of Dell Technologies and Super Micro Computer in supplying AI servers to SpaceX. It also strengthens Foxconn's position as a key manufacturing partner for major North American cloud computing and AI infrastructure companies.
Foxconn has not commented on specific customer orders but has consistently highlighted strong demand for its AI server business. Chairman Liu Yangwei previously projected that the company would capture more than 40% of the global AI server market this year. He also expects AI rack shipments to double and continue growing through the end of 2026. Cloud and networking products, driven primarily by AI servers, have already become Foxconn's largest business segment.
The Economic Daily reported that SpaceX recently increased its planned deployment of Nvidia GB300 server racks to approximately 13,000 units, with deliveries expected to begin in late 2026 and continue into the first quarter of 2027.
Beyond its satellite and space launch operations, SpaceX is rapidly expanding its AI computing infrastructure. The report said the company has reached agreements involving Anthropic and Google while also advancing AI computing initiatives with the U.S. Department of Defense. These investments reflect SpaceX's broader push into cloud computing and artificial intelligence, creating new opportunities for suppliers such as Foxconn as demand for high-performance AI servers continues to accelerate.
