SpaceX is planning a major data centre expansion in Texas, potentially building multiple facilities or retrofitting warehouses to match or exceed its existing Memphis-area capacity of 1 gigawatt. The move follows recent AI computing deals with Anthropic and Google, signalling SpaceX's shift towards monetising AI infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure and Cloud Infrastructure, and 5 sources have reported it between 22 Jul 2026 and 23 Jul 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

SpaceX just became a serious competitor for your AI workloads. If you're selling cooling, power distribution, or real estate to hyperscalers, SpaceX is now buying at gigawatt scale in Texas - and it's moving fast enough to pre-position staff.
