⚡️SpaceX could fix the AI power bottleneck without making turbines

⚡️SpaceX could fix the AI power bottleneck without making turbines AI data centers need electricity faster than turbine manufacturers can supply it, with some orders reportedly stretching toward 2030. SpaceX is now planning to manufacture scarce gas-turbine parts like blades and vanes itself. SpaceX may not even need to produce them at scale. Just proving it can make these components could pressure existing turbine suppliers to expand production before AI companies start building their own supply chains. That extra capacity could mean more turbines, shorter wait times and faster power deployment for data centers. SpaceX may not need to become a turbine company. It just needs to make turbine makers nervous enough to build more. Source. @aipost 🏴
