Musk has forecasted that within the upcoming 30 to 36 months, the most economically viable AI deployments will transition to space. He is of the opinion that Earth's energy resources are incapable of sustaining the swift expansion of AI infrastructure, with electricity emerging as the chief bottleneck currently impeding AI advancement. By relocating data centers to space and harnessing solar energy, the energy challenge can be overcome, and the new constraint will become chip production capacity. Furthermore, he presented data to substantiate his claim that large-scale construction of power plants and data centers on Earth is no longer a viable option.
