Where did they say that all data centers will move into space? I thought the claim was that it's going to be more and more feasible and profitable to have DC's in space.

Elon Musk is saying this together with Dyson Sphere and Mars colonisation.

In his FCC filling he also mentions DCs:

And yes its absolutly wild.

His Scifi ideas are probably a min of 100 years too early.

And while he doesn't even need his own compute (renting out colossus 1 and 2), he thinks we will send server racks full of expensive hardware into space in no time.

Why?

Because his Space-X Trillion evaluation doesn't make sense if he doens't has payload for Starship.

So how much payload do we send to space? Actually not that much, starlink itself is the biggest change by far. So he builds Starship which he needs for starlink v3 but what then? Yeah Datacenter in space...

I doubt it'll be traditional server racks. This will be a paradigm shift, for sure. I think he's probably ahead of his time here, but that's usually how it goes.
