SpaceX has just announced that they have entered into a $920 million per month agreement with Google to provide compute capacity, according to a new filing.
"On June 5, 2026, we entered into a Cloud Service Agreement with Google with respect to access to compute capacity. The customer has agreed to pay us $920 million per month from October 2026 through June 2029, with capacity ramping up through September at a reduced fee. The compute capacity provided includes approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components.
After December 31, 2026, the agreement may be terminated by either party upon 90 days' notice. The customer will retain ownership of, and intellectual property rights in, its content, Al models, and related data."
you're telling me anthropic & google are paying spacex ~$26b a year for compute?!!
this is more than half the run rate of openai & anthropic just from compute deals & that doesn't even factor in the rocket launches at all.
elon accidentally ended up owning a significant portion of three of the scarcest assets in ai.. power, chips, & physical deployment capability. the best lesson here is that if you’re selling picks & shovels during a gold rush, you don’t necessarily need to find the gold. you just need everyone else to keep digging. & also non software elon is pretty much unstoppable, like prime michael jordan type thing.

SpaceX just paid for the http://X.ai acquisition many times over.
Anthropic and Google are now paying @SpaceX a combined $2.17 billon per month for compute capacity. That's a revenue run rate of $26 billion per year. BIG MONEY.
Google is now paying SpaceX nearly $1 billion every month for compute.
Yes, Google is paying SpaceX for compute. They're that desperate.

This single deal is about the revenue of @CoreWeave to put it in perspective
@SpaceX is the largest neocloud & its AI cloud revenue at $26b run rate is actually at the level of Google Cloud & AWS already, catching up to Azure ($37b run rate)

SpaceX entered a cloud services agreement with Google for compute capacity, including ~110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and related components.
$SPCX agreed to pay Google $920M per month from October 2026 through June 2029, with capacity ramping through September 2026.
If full access is not delivered by September 30, 2026, Google will apply a corresponding pro-rata reduction to the monthly fees.
The agreement can be terminated after December 31, 2026 with 90 days’ notice, while SpaceX retains ownership of its content, AI models, and related data.
Last year: people had to steal GPU’s from armored trucks.
This year: SpaceX is leasing to GPUs left, right, and center, because Xai couldn’t figure out what to do with them.

Google to pay SpaceX $920 million a month (about $11B a year) for compute capacity at xAI data centers
Shows again AI compute is becoming a strategic commodity like launch capacity or energy, and the companies that can finance, power, cool, and operate giant GPU fleets may gain leverage far outside their original business.
If scale was “all you need”, Elon would be hoarding LLMs, not leasing them.

“I've tried to find where this stops being circular and I can't.”
🦔Google signed a deal to pay SpaceX $920 million a month for access to 110,000 Nvidia GPUs at SpaceX data centers. The contract runs October 2026 through June 2029, roughly $30 billion total. Google called it bridge capacity for surging Gemini Enterprise demand. SpaceX signed a similar deal with Anthropic last month, $1.25 billion a month through 2029 for all the compute at its Colossus 1 facility in Memphis. Both contracts include 90-day cancellation clauses after December 2026. SpaceX goes public Thursday.
My Take Google has more AI compute than anyone on earth and they still had to go to SpaceX for 110,000 GPUs. Their own buildout can't keep up with demand for Gemini Enterprise. They've committed $180 billion in capex this year and sold $80 billion in stock to fund more of it. And they still came up short.
This is the second deal like this in a month. Anthropic already signed for $1.25 billion a month at Colossus 1. Together those two deals put about $26 billion a year on SpaceX's books, right before an IPO where Goldman needs to justify a $1.75 trillion valuation on $322 billion in projected AI revenue. xAI built those data centers for Grok and lost $6.4 billion last year. So now Google and Anthropic pay rent on the hardware Grok couldn't use, and that rent is the AI revenue story SpaceX takes public on Thursday. I've tried to find where this stops being circular and I can't.

There was some confusion about this deal yesterday. Google will pay Spacex $920 million a month for compute. This is on top of the $1.25 billion a month Anthropic pays in their deal. Elon is now bringing in $2 billion+ a month for compute-as-a-service.
As I understand it, Anthropic is paying for Hoppers, and Google for Blackwells, so this is all fair. But what is interesting is that there was the cope: "ah we're just monetizing obsolete hardware… GORK 5 is Blackwell-only anyway". Seems like it was a "just the tip" moment.
Interesting to compare this with the SpaceX-Anthropic deal which is almost 2x cheaper
Google is paying $11.60/hour per GPU Anthropic is paying $5.26/hour per GPU

@theo Elon figured out step 2.

Rreuters: SpaceX’s $75B IPO is already seeing about $150B in demand (2x oversubscribed)
SpaceX has said its AI business could chase a $23 trillion market, that it can use space to build AI compute capacity beyond the limits of Earth-based companies.
"By dramatically reducing the cost of access to space, we have been able to expand our mission to address some of the Earth's most pressing challenges, including bridging the digital divide by aiming to connect over three billion unconnected people to the internet and humanity's collective knowledge," SpaceX said in the roadshow presentation.
SpaceX said U.S. electricity generation and computer-capacity growth have fallen behind China, partly due to barriers around major U.S. projects. SpaceX thinks that shortfall can be remedied by putting data centers and other infrastructure in space using SpaceX launches.
