Large AI data centers require far more than chips, Elon Musk said, listing power plants, transformers, liquid-cooling loops, chillers and highly complex networking for AI training clusters. Musk said Google, Anthropic and other companies are leasing computing capacity from SpaceX because of tightening electricity supplies, and argued that SpaceX's vertically integrated approach helps it deploy AI infrastructure faster than grid-dependent rivals. Google signed a multiyear cloud agreement in June valued at $920 million per month at full scale for access to about 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, while Anthropic agreed to pay $1.25 billion monthly through May 2029 for computing capacity. SpaceXAI is building a 1.2-gigawatt permanent power plant near its Greater Memphis supercomputer sites and retiring temporary mobile turbines as permanent capacity comes online. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates U.S. data centers could consume 11.8% of national electricity by 2030, with scenarios ranging from 9.5% to 15.3%. Musk made the comments during a video appearance at the G20 Innovation Ministerial Summit in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he also criticized European Union technology rules as inhibiting progress.
