Musk hails 'insane' SpaceXsi compute revenue as vertical integration flexes premium pricing
elonmusk · x · 2026-10-10
Elon Musk replied to wintonARK's analysis calling SpaceXsi's revenue growth "insane—never seen anything like it."
wintonARK argues vertical integration is a superpower: internal compute demand plus a strong balance sheet let SpaceXsi sign aggressive short-term deals and flex supply in-house during demand shortfalls, commanding massively premium IaaS pricing versus providers that depend solely on the rental market to recoup capex.
