About half of SpaceX revenue is Starlink subscriptions. Starlink is the one profitable division; the rest of the company operates at a loss, including xAI.
replyThat's outdated and doesn't fully include the multiple billion per month contracts.
replyAnthropic: 1.25B/month
Google: 0.92B/month
Unnamed customer starting in december: 1.1B/month
Starlink monthly revenue is ~1.5B/month
Isn't this to rent the datacenters though? That's not really long term revenue if xAI will eventually need them back.
replyRenting datacenters is their mission, now on earth and later in space (assuming they deliver).
replyI don't know that's moving the goalpost, SpaceX's mission was not that originally. Some could say the original mission failed and they are pivoting, Elon will say it's a means to the end of the original mission still to save face. Some read it all as snake oil
