Here’s the takeaway many folks miss: SpaceX is becoming a vertically integrated space infrastructure platform—rockets + satellite broadband + AI compute + its own chip supply chain. And the Terafab and orbital AI data center efforts tie the ecosystem together into one unified bet on the future of AI infrastructure.

Where the companies dovetail is in artificial intelligence — and the extensive amount of cash needed to fund its development. SpaceX absorbed xAI, parent of the Grok chatbot and the social media site formerly known as Twitter, in February. Now, it's embarking on a semiconductor manufacturing joint venture with Tesla dubbed the Terafab.
