In a move that could reshape the future of computing, Elon Musk has thrown his weight behind the concept of orbital data centers, joining a growing chorus of tech billionaires betting on space to meet Earth’s exploding demand for AI-driven processing power. Elon Musk, whose SpaceX operates the world’s largest satellite constellation, declared on X (formerly Twitter) that his company will adapt its Starlink technology for massive space-based data facilities. “Simply scaling up Starlink V3 satellites, which have high speed laser links would work,” Musk posted in response to an Ars Technica article on autonomous space assembly. “SpaceX will be doing this,” Elon Musk wrote.

The announcement elevates a once-fringe idea into mainstream contention.
