Anthropic is paying $15 billion a year for access to Elon Musk's data centers

In a post on X, Musk said that SpaceX stands ready to offer similar deals to other AI companies that want to access the data centers. SpaceX is "offering AI compute as a service at significant scale," he said.

SpaceX has been spending enormous amounts of money on AI since the company merged with Elon Musk's xAI earlier this year. According to the filing, the rocket company spent $12.7 billion in capital expenditures on AI in 2025, or about 61 percent of the total spend. It spent $7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, compared to just $1 billion on its space division. SpaceX's AI division lost $6.3 billion in operations on $3.2 billion in revenue in 2025, and lost $2.5 billion on $818 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2026.
