Part 8/12:
From the perspective of technological and economic impact, AI stands at the core of Musk’s plans. Investment in AI data centers—whether on the Moon, in orbit, or in space—is seen as a critical step toward achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). These centers will serve as the backbone of a new computational infrastructure capable of supporting complex AI systems.
The recent boom in AI companies, from OpenAI to Anthropic, underscores that AI’s horizontal enabling layer will touch every industry, boosting productivity and innovation. Musk appears poised to dominate this landscape by building the largest AI compute facilities in space, thereby ensuring a competitive edge in the race toward AGI.
