Musk said that the number of AI satellites launched into space will reach 100 gigawatts per year within 3 to 4 years, but it will take over 10 years to reach 100 terawatts.

A netizen posted on X that "Musk has basically confirmed that SpaceX will go public this year and will use the funds raised to build solar-powered AI satellites, with the goal of expanding to several hundred terawatts within three years." Musk replied, saying, "No, the likely scenario is that in the next 3 to 4 years, the annual launch capacity of space AI satellites from Earth will reach 100 gigawatts. Launching 100 terawatts a year means mass-producing satellites on the moon and launching them into deep space using a device called a 'mass driver,' which will take more than 10 years to realize. It is worth noting that the average annual electricity consumption in the United States is only 0.5 terawatts, which means launching satellites equivalent to 200 times the current electricity production on Earth."
