Musk says SpaceX could be worth multiples of Earth's economy; Amodei ties compute to energy
MickeySteamboat · x · 2026-10-09
A quoted thread pairs two big-picture takes:
- Elon Musk: says it will sound super crazy, but he sees a path for SpaceX to be worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy.
- Dario Amodei (beffjezos): humanity has far to go up the Kardashev scale, and superintelligence compute is "a transducer of energy into value" — combining the two, Musk's claim makes sense.
It's a vision-level exchange between industry leaders about compute, energy, and economic scale, not a product or policy update.
