Friedberg is bullish on the strategic value of SpaceX's space-based communication and compute infrastructure as a censorship-resistant, government-independent backbone for civilization — providing a unique long-term moat beyond financial metrics.
if you have a communication network that isn't restricted and controlled by a government on Earth, it's almost like a backup... I think having like a space-based communication network, space-based data centers, and space-based” ⚑
Gavin Baker is bullish on SpaceX's AI/compute business, arguing their ability to build data centers faster and cheaper than anyone else, combined with the Anthropic $15B offtake deal and Cursor's Composer 2.5 breakthrough on Colossus, positions the company for dramatic revenue growth in its AI segment.
they build data centers dramatically faster than anyone else. At a lower cost. And now that you have a clear offtake partner, and I would expect partner to become partners, there is no reason they can't start stamping these data centers” ⚑
Chamath argues SpaceX is underwritable at a $2T valuation based on Starlink's scalable internet infrastructure, rapidly growing AI/compute revenue (now $15B/year from Anthropic alone), and Elon's unique ability to compound capital moats into technology and execution moats — with a Tesla merger making it even cheaper over time.
I'm buying probably the most important internet infrastructure project that's happened since the internet itself... terrestrial data centers alone are $100 or $200 billion of revenue by 2030, 2032. Just— and that means just building it. So” ⚑
