SpaceX says it can build a 'minihard' AI data center in about 5 months, with room for six sites in Texas and six more in Tennessee, so a dozen could be under construction at once.

SpaceX can build a minihard AI data center in about five months. There is room for six in Texas and six more in Tennessee, so a dozen could be under construction at once. Each one costs about $13B to build and could bring in roughly $27B a year in revenue, at about 40% lower cost than competitors.
