Musk mocks compute-satellite heat dissipation skeptics: 'They'll never get a job at SpaceX'
elonmusk · x · 2026-11-03
Responding to critics who call heat dissipation for space-based AI compute satellites impossible, Elon Musk retorted that skeptics have 'guaranteed they'll never get a job at SpaceX.' He framed the criticism as the latest entry in a long list of 'impossible' claims his companies have disproved: EVs beating ICE cars, batteries at scale, vision-only autonomous driving, reusable orbital rockets. The original poster also cited 11,184 Starlink satellites already 'cooling' in orbit via radiative structures as evidence thermal management is solvable.
