The long-term AI compute story is predicted to be strongly associated with SpaceX, encompassing the entire enterprise and not just its AI division, with future potential in orbital compute.
The core thesis is that SpaceX AI will aggressively build as much AI compute capacity as rapidly as possible. They will retain the necessary compute for their own internal models and then lease out the surplus to other companies. This revenue from leasing will then fund further expansion of their AI compute infrastructure, creating a continuous cycle of growth and dominance.
A key point highlighted by Gavin in a recent Hyperchange conversation is that this strategy could enable SpaceX AI to "absolutely obliterate consensus expectations" for revenue as soon as next year. This projected revenue surge is based on their continuous expansion of AI compute, retaining a portion for internal use, and leasing out the significant surplus. Importantly, this potential revenue stream is currently "not being modeled by most investors."
