SpaceX Plans to Expand AI Computing Capacity to 13 GW by 2027 Amid Rising Demand
SpaceX plans to expand its artificial intelligence computing capacity to 13 gigawatts by the end of 2027, driven by strong demand from major technology companies, according to a UBS report. This target significantly exceeds earlier estimates of 2.5-3 GW. Elon Musk indicated demand could support up to 20 GW, with potential annual recurring revenue reaching USD 500 billion to USD 1 trillion by 2027. Achieving this will require substantial investment, with capital expenditure expected to rise to USD 35-40 billion in late 2026.
