๐บ๐ธ SpaceX wants up to 1 million AI satellites in orbit
Elon confirmed the name today: Starmind.
And itโs exactly what it sounds like.
A constellation of satellites purpose-built for AI compute in space, not just internet like Starlink.
Each one will carry racks of chips, run inference and training workloads using abundant solar power and the natural cold of space, then beam the results back down to Earth.
Thatโs the real advantage.
While every other AI company is fighting for land, electricity, and cooling water on the ground, SpaceX is planning to largely skip the planet.
The FCC filing went in at the end of January 2026 requesting authorization for up to 1 million satellites.
The first two test units, called AI1, are targeted for launch in early 2027.
Each prototype will measure roughly 70 meters wide (solar arrays) and deliver around 120-150 kW of compute power.
People shrugged at @Starlink tooโฆ right up until it owned the sky.

Due to rules of the IPO, SpaceX employees have to wait until after Q2 2026 earnings โ likely late JulyโAugust 2026 โ to sell 20% of eligible shares unlocked (potentially +10% more if stock performs strongly).
Elon has indicated in the past that his employees love $DOGE and recommended it to him.
Well, in July/August, they will have liquid assets to load up on more of it.
This $DOGE chart by @TATrader_Alan has been shared many times before, but definitely worth sharing again.
I just want to add that these macro triangles coincide with Bitcoin as well. Both are charting major breakouts soon. (Courtesy of @seth_fin)
