“I'm fairly confident of being able to bring an incremental 10 gigawatts of compute online in 2027. That would be in addition to the roughly 3 gigawatts, maybe 2 and a half to 3 gigawatts that we'll have online by the end of this year. So, I would be surprised if we brought on less than 13 gigawatts of compute by the end of next year.”

On SpaceX's Q3 2026 earnings call (October 20, 2026), Elon Musk said he was fairly confident SpaceX would add 10 gigawatts of AI compute in 2027 on top of the roughly 2.5 to 3 gigawatts online by the end of 2026, and that he would be surprised if the total came in under 13 gigawatts by the end of 2027. The build-out centers on the Colossus clusters in Memphis.
