SpaceX CEO Elon Musk plans to bypass the traditional power supply chain for AI data centers in a way once deemed 'impossible'—by manufacturing core components in-house. According to job postings and multiple signs, SpaceX has initiated plans to establish a foundry in Bastrop, Texas (about 30 miles from Austin), specializing in producing large gas turbine blades and nozzles. Musk confirmed the news on social media, stating that despite significant investments in solar energy, natural gas will still be needed to supplement and activate the solar grid in the coming years. He emphasized that in-house casting of blades and nozzles at SpaceX could reduce the time required to bring gas turbines online by up to 18 months, representing a disruptive breakthrough.
