## Key points

- SpaceX plans more than $74 billion for two AI campuses.
- Arizona’s proposed site needs approval and faces local opposition.
- AI generated over half of SpaceX’s third-quarter revenue.

## Summary

SpaceX plans to invest more than $74 billion in two supercomputing campuses in Texas and Arizona, expanding its artificial intelligence business alongside its rocket and satellite operations. The scale of the projects reflects how central AI has become to the company: the segment generated more than half of its revenue in the third quarter.

The company expects to spend over $24 billion at its Starbase site in Texas and about $50 billion in Cochise County, Arizona. The Arizona campus would create around 5,500 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent roles, but needs county approval and faces a petition with 2,400 signatures opposing the permit; a public hearing is scheduled for December. SpaceX says the Arizona facility would use dry cooling and no industrial groundwater, while the Texas project would generate its own electricity and support more than 500 permanent jobs once operating.
