SpaceX is in talks to sell artificial intelligence computing power to the US Department of Defense in a potential multi‑billion‑dollar deal that would deepen the Pentagon's reliance on Elon Musk's company and push it further beyond rockets and satellite communications into one of the fastest‑growing areas of the technology industry.
The discussions centre on leasing data centre capacity capable of supporting advanced AI models. If completed, the agreement would extend SpaceX's AI infrastructure business, which already counts Google and Anthropic among its largest customers.
