    It’s going to be a lot worse when SpaceX and xAI merge and they’re launching thousands of data center satellites in orbit.

      No one is going to launch a data center in to orbit. They are expensive, heavy, and impossible to cool up there. There is NO benefit at all, and many, MANY reasons not to.

      data center satellites

      Yeah that’s not going to happen because there is a long LONG list of reasons why that is a really bad idea that will never work

      Then again, Elmo will keep trying of course because knowing that list requires some basic engineering knowledge and world’s biggest retard doesn’t know anything about engineering, but he does think he know, and has all the money and yes men in the world

      I predict that he will convince some company to try and build one of those hilarious datacenter satellites, lose hundreds of millions of dollars and go bankrupt because of problems any high schooler could have pointed out

      They’ll probably launch 100 and not have enough demand. It’s an unfathomably expensive thing.
