Elon's almost a trillionaire. He's going batshit insane with power. He has the kind of money that ancient blood cult banker families couldn't achieve even after manipulating world governments and starting wars. Guaranteed he's going to start crashing out way harder than anyone could even imagine. Plus the suspense is probably killing him, tsla needs less than a 50% increase to make him the first triller

ELon is a genius with this. In space it's very cold, so you don't require a lot of energy to cool. No need for liquid cooling because liquids would freeze in an instant anyway. You basically just need a few big fans.

Cant believe someone never used space to mine bitcoins.

The reason why bitcoin is so expensive is that cooling the video cards is so expensive. If you take that out of the equition by having a bitcoin mine in space, you basically make it back in a heart beat

actually you can do superconductor computing in space.

while thermal exchange is only through radiation, that goes both ways, so it is indeed very cold in space.

the problem is, industrial space tech is at least two decades away. grok is purely a parasite off spacex. with today's tech, computers in space are a dumb fucking idea.

no, actually you can run at arbitrarily cold temperature using solar power. which would enable superconductive processing which is thousands of times more effective.

That's like the opposite from the truth. Fans don't do anything in a vacuum. Radiative cooling is inefficient and requires a huge surface area but it's difficult to transport the heat to the radiator because it requires coolant which is heavy=expensive.
>>
>>61778615
>Space is like -200 degrees celcius retard
>Water would freeze in an instant
No it wouldn't. Vacuum is a very good insulator. Water only freezes if exposed directly to the vacuum because the evaporation requires energy. If you put it in a closed system it will actually stay warm quite long.

Absolute retard. Cooling is difficult in space precisely because you only have radiation as a source of heat loss. If you manage to stay out of the sunlight all the time then yeah, it would be very cold.

>What the FUCK is the point of this?
To silence those who kept saying the Muskonomy isn't real. That, and integration between companies that would have otherwise been a customer and service provider.
If Musk is to build datacenters in space, the technical challenges that presents (like cooling) would likely be solved by the engineers at SpaceX, not xAI. SpaceX has the material and hardware system expertise, xAI has the data.
Given Tesla's 2 billion investment into xAI, this merger also fulfills Musk's promise of giving Tesla shareholders a stake in SpaceX, albeit a very tiny one.
>>61778680
>doesnt produce any significant revenue, let alone profits.
xAI/SpaceX's biggest customer will be Tesla, which will act like a money funnel.
If you think about Musk's various ventures, he builds things that his own companies need, not for the sake of business from others. Tesla is the only one that is consumer facing.
All of this hinges on Tesla's Optimus succeeding. If that doesn't work out, xAI doesn't have a business model.

>>61778237
Low ambient temperature doesn't help with cooling when you're in a near-vacuum. Vacuum is the ideal insulator. This is why a vacuum flask is the ideal storage container for keeping your coffee warm.

On Earth, you can be connected to ground, water and/or air, which can serve as heat sinks. In space, you are insulated from the nearest heat sink by hundreds of kilometers of vacuum. You have to create artificial heat sinks in the form of giant radiators, which in turn get rid of the thermal energy by radiating it into space. This is very inefficient.

>>61778237
Retard in space you need huge fucking radiators because its a fucking vacuum therefore no way to transfer heat.
If you cool something down, you need to transfer that heat somewhere else, basic thermodynamics, space computing is retarded.
>>
>>61777607
They had to have a reason to go to space and solar panels work well up there and it’s super cold so you don’t need cooling and can overclock. And at the same time they raised a bunch of cash on SpaceX so they had to spend it and AI needs an insane amount of cash so they merged it.
Honestly it’s pretty smart business for now but eventually when the AI bubble pops it’ll now take space exploration down with it.

Aaaaaaand it all worked and Grok is in the running with the others as the best AI on the planet, depending on the update. I stopped doubting his plans.
>>
>>61777607
The point of building data center in space of the point of merging both companies?
The point of merging both companies is that Elon can cash out on xAI, which is unsellable on its own and that he can pad his SpaceX IPO a bit more with those junk assets.
The point of saying that he wants to build data centers in space is that it's the only excuse to merge both companies that sounds minimally plausible. The whole idea is retarded, especially because dissipating heat in space is very hard because you can't make use of conduction and convection.
>>
>>61784812
>>61784797
Challenges of Cooling in Vacuum:
Without atmosphere, heat can't dissipate via convection (air flow) or significant conduction (through materials to air). Electronics generate heat internally, and if not managed, it builds up quickly, risking component failure (e.g., temperatures exceeding safe limits like 85-125°C for aerospace-grade parts).
Orbits expose satellites to extreme cycles: scorching solar radiation (up to 1,400 W/m2) on the sun-facing side, followed by deep cold in shadow. This thermal cycling stresses materials, and dust, atomic oxygen, or UV can degrade cooling surfaces.
Radiation cooling requires large surface areas (e.g., deployable radiators) to emit infrared heat effectively, which adds mass and complexity. It's slower than Earth methods, so high-heat-density AI chips (like GPUs) need careful design to avoid hotspots.

Advantages and How It's Solved:
Passive Radiation: Spacecraft use radiators (large panels coated with materials like vacuum-deposited aluminum or variable-emissivity surfaces) to emit heat as infrared radiation directly into the cold void. This is "built-in" cooling—no fans, pumps, or water needed, which dominate 30-40% of Earth datacenter costs and energy use. For AI datacenters, this means "natural" frigid temps handle dissipation passively, making space more efficient overall.
Advanced Tech: Heat pipes (e.g., two-phase loops) transport heat from electronics to radiators efficiently without power input. Phase-change materials buffer fluctuations, and evaporative systems (like two-phase cooling) provide rapid heat transfer. These are proven in satellites and the ISS, rejecting kilowatts of heat.

Grok also explained that putting data centers in space is complimentary to the existing and expanding Starlink network of satellites. I think the only threat to Elon is a total libtard takeover of govt, they will try and kill his projects just for spite.

for me it was when he negotiated his tesla pay package and passed up salary in lieu of a bajillion shares in 10 years if he could do something unheard of like x10 the market cap x10 the revenue x10 the profits and the board laughed at him and said alright elon sure sure, then he actually did it and the shareholders got butt hurt and tried to sue even though he basically 10x ed their investment

him negotiating a new similar deal in november for a zillion bajillion shares basically means tesla is going to 20x by 2030
