He said that it's not likely to face a lot of regulatory pushback.
So then Musk went on to a podcast, which is the Cheeky Pint podcast, which was with Dworkish Patel, and then also John Collision, who is a co-founder of Stripe.
But anyways, he's breaking it down and explaining it a little bit more.
But he said, quote, it's harder to scale on the ground than it is to scale in space, which I think is just a wild quote from this conversation.
But one thing he said that I think has a lot of credibility
credence is he said a solar panel gives you about five times more power in space than on earth.
So ends up being much cheaper, which is a really fascinating concept with these data centers, floating satellite data centers around the earth, um, that don't need to be cooled because there is, you know, it's freezing cold in space.
And so that, that saves a lot of like money on the water that you'd have to use.
you know, environmentally conscious to not have to use all of this water.
So for people that that's their number one priority, I think this is an interesting option.
And then of course the solar panels can power them.
So they're basically their own operating units independent up there.
I think electricity isn't the only cost for running a data center.
Patel pointed this out during this kind of conversation they had.
But he also brought some really interesting concerns, which is what happens when hardware fails during AI training?
Like how do you fix it in orbit?
This is not exactly straightforward.
Elon said that he predicted by 2028,
