The lease includes a 90-day mutual cancellation path
@elonmusk @JohnTinsman Smart.
SpaceX has not committed to leasing Colossus for years, although it’s possible that may be what happens.
This is a 180 day lease with 90 day notice mutual cancellation thereafter. The short term was our request, not Anthropic’s.
We won’t leave them hanging and will provide a reasonable off-ramp, but if compute gets super tight I said we might need it back at some point.
Many users called Elon Musk's short-term SpaceX Colossus lease to Anthropic a smart move that highlights his massive compute resources and helps xAI, while others dismissed it as greedy profit-seeking regardless of the outcome.

Ahahahahhahhahahahahhahaha I love this guy

Elon Musk just told investors that SpaceX’s Anthropic AI compute deal is not a locked multi-year rental, but a 180-day lease for Colossus with a 90-day cancellation path.
The older reading made the deal look like $1.25B/month through May-29, but Musk says SpaceX wanted the short term because AI compute may become too scarce to rent away for years.
SpaceX wants flexibility because Colossus is not just a side asset, since the same compute infra trains xAI models, support internal AI systems, or become a paid cloud-style business.

@yacineMTB Did you get a job?
@yacineMTB He can never give up $1.25B per month 😂
@yacineMTB i think he has done business before idk
@yacineMTB He finds a way to make money no matter what fuck up
@yacineMTB Smart moves, imo. We love him too.
@yacineMTB I love that the contract probably has a provision of non-disclosure or something similar and Elon just ignores
@yacineMTB He‘s going to win
@yacineMTB Elon has insane compute wow.
@yacineMTB He doesn’t love you back, apparently 🤷🏻♂️
@yacineMTB own your own compute, even elon allowing short term use
@yacineMTB Hahaha
@rohanpaul_ai smart move. even better for xai imho
@yacineMTB Sorry, do you manage to have income?
@DeepDive_KR @yacineMTB Compute prices are going up. He will just keep renegotiating the price higher bro.
@yacineMTB Everyone admires ELON
