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. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ 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.
