Microsoft plans to lease over 3 gigawatts of AI data center capacity from SpaceX in 2027, part of a broader trend where both companies aim to tap into a potential $100 billion per gigawatt AI revenue market. This deal supports Microsoft's goal to accelerate Azure AI-driven revenue growth above 100% by next year, while SpaceX could emerge as a major AI data center operator with a possible $1 trillion ARR by the end of 2027.
