Morgan Stanley views SpaceX's planned $100 billion orbital AI-focused Starbase facility in Louisiana, with up to 10 launch pads and 3,000 jobs, as a vastly underappreciated growth driver that could significantly boost SpaceX's long-term revenue and stock value through enhanced orbital compute capacity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Morgan Stanley’s view marks a rare signal that orbital AI compute infrastructure is becoming a core new market for space launches. You should track SpaceX’s 2027 construction start and FY27 compute deployment closely, as these will confirm whether this massive growth bet is real and accessible.
