- Citing a NextBigFuture post and satellite-image matching, SpaceX's MiniHard datacenter at the Tulane Road campus was completed in about 5 months, with the adjacent Gun Range plot expected to take 4 months — versus industry norms of 8-12 months or longer.
- The author argues SpaceX is effectively learning to mass-manufacture giant AI datacenters and could reach a pace of roughly one new large datacenter per month as early as next year by building many in parallel.
- Includes rough, unverified revenue speculation: $400B next year and $1T+ by 2028.
