Data centers could become SpaceX's biggest revenue stream, with $1T revenue on the horizon

KOL DrSingularity lays out a bold prediction for SpaceX's next few years:
- Data centers as the top revenue stream: bigger than Starlink or launches. SpaceX is effectively learning to mass-manufacture data centers, and could build roughly one giant data center per month next year (vs. 2-3 years for others).
- $1T revenue in sight: the author argues SpaceX could become the world's richest company before 2030, with the most compute and therefore the best shot at the most powerful AI — likely ASI by then.
- Spillover: profits could fund a Moon base, a small lunar city, and eventually a Mars city; Terafab and Starbase will look small by comparison.
- 2028 onward gets crazier; "the 2030s = a different civilization."
Unverified speculation, but a representative take on the SpaceX-compute hype sweeping the AI sphere.
