In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.

This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.

You mean that guy who desperately tried to invite himself to an island to rape kids, but was deemed too big of a weirdo and jackass?

Yeah cool, go AI rockets or whatever.

I guess do feel bad for the innovators and engineers that are doing actual cool shit in his companies. Must suck to be downstream of that shithead. So much potential, so much stigma (for the company, not the pedo fuckhead)

Spacex had a team of people who would cosplay as engineers and be enough of a distraction that it would distract him from meddling with anything really important. He's mostly whittled away the leadership that protected the company from him these days
