SpaceX says it plans a major investment in AI-focused data-center and supercomputing campuses in Texas and Arizona, described as large server “warehouses” that would support AI workloads. Outlets report the company is budgeting more than $74 billion in total, with separate sites in each state.
Quartz and The Next Web specify the split of the planned spending: about $50 billion for a campus in Arizona’s Cochise County and up to $24 billion for a Texas site near SpaceX’s Starbase, including a local gas power component. The New York Times frames the effort as part of SpaceX’s and Elon Musk’s broader rocket and AI activities. Channel NewsAsia reports on the same overall plan.
While the coverage aligns on the location and the headline figure, outlets differ on the added details they highlight, such as the power-generation element in Texas and the mention of local pushback in Arizona, which The Next Web includes.
