Three people familiar with the matter revealed that SpaceXAI, an artificial intelligence business entity under Elon Musk, is preparing to build at least one large-scale data center in Texas. This expansion will significantly expand SpaceX's AI computing resources beyond its existing computing power hub in Memphis, Tennessee. The commercialization of SpaceXAI's own AI product Grok fell short of expectations. The company recently reached agreements to rent out computing power one after another. If this expansion is successfully implemented, SpaceXAI is expected to grow into an important cloud computing power service provider. Two people familiar with the matter said that in recent months, SpaceXAI has inspected many potential plots in Texas and discussed various construction plans: it is possible to acquire new land or remodel an existing warehouse to build a data center. The model is the same as SpaceXAI's transformation of an old plant to build the first data center in Memphis. A person familiar with the matter said that the planned scale of the new Texas project will target or even exceed the existing computing power cluster in Memphis. SpaceX revealed that the total computing power of the two data centers put into operation is about 1 gigawatt, and hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs have been deployed. Two sources revealed that SpaceXAI has drawn existing data center employees to Texas to make preliminary preparations for the expansion work. Last month, the company recruited data center development leaders in Austin and Bastrop. The job description shows that this position is responsible for data center implementation and also undertakes “plot selection, lease negotiations, and asset acquisition”. Earlier this month, SpaceX also announced temporary job recruitment to support data center construction, expansion and operation in Conroe and other places.
