And that's the unknown origin story.
I will say this, Chamath, the idea of putting data centers in space seems completely doable, even though there are a bunch of people who are saying it's not.
when you compare it to what happened with SpaceX, with Starlink, which people said also wouldn't work.
And now he's got 10,000 Starlinks up there.
The difference between a Starlink satellite and a data center satellite is really not that different.
And they're pretty different.
Well, conceptually, of course, they're physically different.
But conceptually, Elon put 10,000 Starlinks up.
Is he capable of putting 10,000 data center rockets up there?
The size is much bigger, Jason.
The foils are much bigger.
The wings are much bigger.
My point is it's not different if he has the new Starship.
Because that's 10 times bigger, yeah.
You can't just scale like this.
That being said, it's technically possible.
I think he will be the first one to figure it out.
But I'll just take a much more pedestrian take, which is, okay, you're sitting here.
And if I'm asking myself, Jamath, how do I underwrite SpaceX at 2 trillion?
Here's the basic math that I would do.
