I'm sorry this is a misplaced framing. ==> Those facilities are being leased because Grok is failing. Space X does not want to lease away it's competitive advantage to a primary competitor. It'd be like Tesla leasing factory space to Toyota and Ford. 'GPUs, Energy and Data Centres' are a hugely critical resource in the AI race and SpaceX is now leasing it away. Will it make money? Sure. But this is 'Strategic Fumbling'. The cash flow happens to help them leading up to IPO - that's a side show. | ||||||||

I think they're sacrificing short term terrestrial GPU advantage to fund their space GPU mega-advantage. It's a risky bet, but if it pays off then SpaceX will be one of the most powerful companies the earth has ever seen. | ||||||||
