US media: Bezos and Musk are racing to take data centers into space.

according to The Wall Street Journal, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos are competing to bring the multi-trillion-dollar data center boom into space orbit. According to insiders, Bezos' Blue Origin company has had a team researching the technology needed for orbital artificial intelligence data centers for over a year. Meanwhile, sources involved in discussions revealed that Musk's SpaceX plans to use an upgraded version of its Starlink satellites to carry artificial intelligence computing payloads and sell this technology as part of a stock offering, which could value the company at $800 billion. It is reported that deploying satellites with powerful AI computing capabilities will face daunting engineering challenges and raise serious questions about the costs required to send large numbers of such devices into orbit. Despite this, the concept continues to deeply attract many leaders dedicated to the fields of artificial intelligence and aerospace technology.
