SpaceX plans to spend $74B on two AI supercomputing sites, including a $50B campus in Cochise County, Arizona, and a $24B project near Starbase, Texas, The Next Web reported. The company announced the plans Thursday. The Texas project includes a gas-fired power plant that SpaceX will build, own and operate. SpaceX already rents computing power to Anthropic and Google. For Arizona, the company says it will work with local power co-ops, use existing renewable energy and use dry cooling to avoid groundwater consumption. Hundreds of residents challenged the project at a meeting last week over water, power bills and wildlife.
