A netizen posted on platform X, asserting that Musk had essentially confirmed SpaceX's plans to go public this year. The raised funds, according to the post, would be used to construct solar - powered AI satellites, with the ambitious goal of scaling up to hundreds of terawatts within a mere three - year span. In response, Musk clarified that, based on the 50th percentile forecast, the annual launch volume of space AI satellites launched from Earth is projected to reach 100 gigawatts within the next 3 to 4 years. He further explained that achieving an annual launch volume of 100 terawatts would necessitate large - scale satellite manufacturing on the moon. Subsequently, these satellites would be launched into deep space using a 'mass driver'. Musk emphasized that realizing this goal would take more than a decade. For context, the average annual electricity consumption in the United States stands at a mere 0.5 terawatts. Launching satellites with a capacity of 100 terawatts would be equivalent to 200 times the current power - generation capacity of the entire Earth, highlighting the immense scale and long - term nature of such an endeavor.
