SpaceX is in talks with the US Department of Defense for a multibillion-dollar contract to provide AI data centre capacity for Pentagon workloads. The deal would expand SpaceX's cloud computing business and position it against established providers like Oracle, Amazon, and Google for defence AI contracts.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell compute, power, or cooling to data centres, SpaceX just became a buyer at Pentagon scale. This contract route means captive defence demand without the usual two-year sales cycle.
