Elon Musk says SpaceX has not committed to a long-term lease of its “Colossus 1” AI computing cluster to Anthropic. Multiple reports cite Musk clarifying that the arrangement is limited to about 180 days, rather than a multi-year commitment previously suggested in some coverage. Musk also describes the agreement as including a mutual cancellation option: one report says it allows either party to cancel with roughly 90 days’ notice, while another notes an “off-ramp” provision and says SpaceX may need to reclaim computing capacity if demand tightens. The clarification is presented as a correction to earlier characterizations of the deal, with one outlet highlighting that SpaceX “did not commit” to a multi-year lease. Musk’s comments indicate that while SpaceX intends to continue supporting Anthropic under the current term, the contract includes conditions that could allow changes if compute availability becomes constrained. The reports focus on the duration and flexibility of the lease terms, without detailing financial figures or the full contractual language.
