SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced that the aerospace giant is exploring opportunities to provide artificial intelligence computing services to external companies, signaling a major expansion into the fast-growing AI infrastructure market. Musk revealed on Wednesday that SpaceX is already in talks with several firms interested in accessing the company’s large-scale AI computing capabilities.
The announcement follows reports of a massive agreement between SpaceX and AI startup Anthropic. According to a company filing, Anthropic committed nearly $45 billion over the next three years for access to computing resources powering its Claude AI platform. The deal was disclosed as part of SpaceX’s upcoming initial public offering filing, with the company expected to launch one of the largest IPOs in Wall Street history next month.
Musk stated that SpaceX plans to leverage orbital data centers in the future, allowing the company to deliver AI services at unprecedented scale. The ambitious vision aligns with Musk’s long-term strategy of combining space technology and artificial intelligence to build next-generation infrastructure.
SpaceX’s AI expansion largely stems from its acquisition of xAI earlier this year. The AI startup operates the Colossus supercomputer facility in Memphis, Tennessee, which Musk has described as the world’s largest AI supercomputer cluster. The infrastructure is expected to play a critical role in SpaceX’s push into AI computing services.
Despite excitement around the project, some industry experts have questioned the feasibility and costs associated with space-based data centers. Nevertheless, investor interest remains strong as SpaceX prepares for its Nasdaq debut. Recent reports suggest the company aims to raise approximately $75 billion at a staggering $1.75 trillion valuation, potentially making it the biggest IPO ever recorded.
The move places SpaceX at the center of the booming AI infrastructure race alongside major tech giants investing heavily in advanced computing power.
