A SpaceX adatközpontjai és a Grok ügynökök a vártnál magasabb profitot hoztak a harmadik negyedévben. A vállalat bevételeinek 52 százalékát már az AI-üzletág adja, amellyel az űrkutatási gyökerek mellett egyre inkább a mesterséges intelligenciára helyezik a hangsúlyt.
A cég 14,6 milliárd dolláros negyedéves árbevételét elsősorban a Super Intelligence nevű divízió hajtotta. Ez a szegmens magában foglalja a felvásárolt Cursor kódolási eszközt, a Grok chatbotot, valamint a 1,7 gigawatt kapacitású felhőinfrastruktúrát.
A növekvő bevételek mellett a SpaceX 19,6 milliárd dolláros tőkebefektetést könyvelt el. A forrásokat a Colossus II adatközpont építésére, valamint a Starship rakéta fejlesztésére fordítják, amely a pályára állított adatközpontok telepítéséhez is szükséges.

SpaceX’s data centers and Grok agents have been more profitable than investors expected in second quarter of the year, as the company leaves its roots as a space company behind to focus on artificial intelligence, which now makes up 52% of its income.
Elon Musk’s deep conglomerate reported on Tuesday $14.6 billion in third-quarter revenue. That number was driven by growth in all segments, but especially it’s renamed “Super Intelligence” business line, which includes the recently-acquired Cursor coding tool, Grok bot, and most importantly, the company’s burgeoning neocloud business, which now boasts 1.7 GW of compute.
That number was also boosted by about $1 billion in income related to the recovery of bitcoin prices and an unspecified related-party income that might be attributed to a SpaceX investment in another company.
The growing revenue is balanced against total capital expenditures of $19.6 billion, as SpaceX continues to build out a second data center project, Colossus II, and increase investment in Starship, the heavy lift rocket it sees as vital to deploying a new generation of Starlink satellites and developing orbital data centers.
