SpaceX and xAI unite to power AI in orbit

Today’s episode focuses on a major move in the race for compute capacity. SpaceX and xAI are joining forces to build solar-powered data centers in orbit, aiming to break through the energy limits that hold back artificial intelligence on the ground. This shift could change where compute comes from and who controls access to it.For operators and decision-makers, these changes point to a future where energy, infrastructure, and compute planning look very different. The companies that prepare early will have an advantage when demand accelerates and traditional data centers struggle to keep up. Understanding these trends now helps set priorities for cost, control, and long-term resilience.We also cover Palantir’s strong performance, NVIDIA’s next-generation chips, and new security risks raised by autonomous agents like Clawdbot and Moltbook.Learn more at crestvale.ioSupport the show
