Elon Musk said government contracts will account for less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter, down from 16.6% in the third quarter, The Next Web reports. Renting AI computing has become its largest revenue source.

SpaceX's AI unit generated $7.56B in the third quarter, more than Starlink, mostly from computing rented from its Memphis data centres. Anthropic accounted for 34.5% of revenue, making it SpaceX's biggest customer. Anthropic can exit its contracts with 90 days' notice from early 2027.
