SpaceX has just unveiled a massive new $50 billion Supercomputing Campus that they want to build in Cochise County, Arizona.
All info:
• Up to 6 GW across the 9 supercomputing buildings
• Construction starts 2027
• Size of each supercomputing building: ~493,000 square feet.
• Total supercomputing building space: 4.44 million square feet, excluding support facilities.
• SSVEC residential customers are projected to see electricity bill reductions of 10–40%.
• Up to 24 GWh of grid-connected battery storage to provide backup power, stabilize the regional electric grid, support local voltage, and absorb fluctuations in electricity demand. Among the largest planned battery installations in the United States.
• Additional solar generation in the region is planned to supply renewable electricity during the day and reduce demand on the local grid.
• No dedicated on-site power plant or fuel storage yard is planned.
• Each supercomputing building will have 10 MW of natural-gas-powered standby generation for critical equipment, operating only during utility outages and periodic testing.
• No gas turbines will be installed at the site.
• SpaceX plans to fund $3.6 billion in grid infrastructure upgrades, transferred to AEPCO at no cost to its members.
• Up to $260 million annually in additional benefits for cooperative members at full buildout, on top of residential bill reductions.
• Up to $200 million annually for cooperative members statewide, in addition to SSVEC benefits.
• The supercomputers will use dry cooling with a closed-loop water circulation system rather than evaporative cooling.
• SpaceX projects zero ongoing industrial water consumption.
• The cooling system will be filled initially, with water reused for up to 10 years.
• SpaceX estimates annual water usage equivalent to approximately 20–30 Arizona residential homes.
• Projected annual water use would be less than 2.5% of a single center-pivot irrigation system's annual consumption.
• Permanent jobs: Approximately 1,000.
• Construction jobs: Approximately 5,500.
• Annual property tax revenue: Up to $103 million in estimated new annual revenue.
• Regional economic benefits: SpaceX says its investment will support public education, infrastructure, essential local services, and economic development.
• Local suppliers: SpaceX is encouraging suppliers to participate in construction and development of the campus.
• Noise mitigation: Equipment will be positioned away from neighboring properties where possible, with setbacks and additional screening to reduce noise.
• Nighttime lighting: Outdoor lighting will remain off unless work is underway, with active lights shielded and directed downward.
• Dark-sky protection: The campus will comply with Cochise County's dark-sky requirements to limit light pollution.
• Nighttime construction: SpaceX says it will seek waivers when nighttime construction lighting is necessary.
• Wildlife protection: The campus is being designed with consideration for the region's sandhill crane wintering habitat.
This campus's purpose is to build one of the world's most advanced AI supercomputing campuses to train SpaceX's superintelligence models and support scientific and engineering breakthroughs.

I was kicked out of a dinner in South Dakota because I’ve consistently pushed the SAVE America Act.
Instead of listening to the grassroots, our Republican Senate defied us for 2 years
& delivered losses in Alaska, Kansas, & Mississippi.
Our new Republican Senate minority just voted to re-elect Senator Thune.
Why do South Dakota Republicans continue to vote for him in the primary?
“I’m the assh@le saying you can’t come in.”
🚨 ELECTION ISSUES: Colorado has more registered voters than Census adult citizens.
53 of 64 counties are over 100%.👀
San Juan County is at 150.4%.
Mineral County is at 147.4%.
Elbert County is at 126.3%.
Douglas County is at 117.8%.
El Paso County is 50,161 over.
Why are so many of these rolls over the adult-citizen count?
what if...2020 they waited to see how far behind they were, and kept counting until they won
2024 the lead was "too big to rig"
so 2026 they just dumped everything ahead of time. thinking they could call it early and stop counting. but realized too late, and some places got 105% voter turnout
THEY TOLD YOU IT WAS TRUMP’S FAULT. THEN THE PRICES STARTED FALLING BEFORE DEMOCRATS EVEN TOOK OFFICE.
Guy pulls up to the pumps and regular is sitting at $2.97. Down the street it’s $2.99. Democrats just won the midterms and they haven’t even been sworn in yet. The stations that were price gouging Americans for months suddenly found a way to drop the price.
National average just fell below $4 for the first time since August (GasBuddy). Down almost 40 cents in a month. Experts say it’s “seasonal.” Funny how the season only arrives right after voters send a message.
This is what the game looks like. Keep prices high long enough to damage the administration in power, then ease off once the political damage is done. Working Americans get the bill either way.
Democrats spent years blaming everyone else for the cost of living. Now the pumps are moving and they still haven’t taken a single vote.
AMERICA FIRST means calling all of them out. They don’t care about your wallet. They care about power.
Has Gibney never heard of SSL encryption? HTTPS?
Modern web traffic is all encrypted from end to end. That means Internet Service Providers like Starlink can’t see the traffic that’s going over their network.
They can maybe see what websites are being requested via DNS queries, but the actual communication happening over the network is theoretically invisible to them.
So no, Elon didn’t know the election results because of Starlink. He knew it because it was obvious at that point that Trump was going to win. The only reason some people realized later than others was hopium and denial.
This is seriously so embarrassing for Gibney that’s he’s pushing crackpot conspiracy theories that are so easily debunked by anyone who knows how computers work. It makes me question all his previous work.
🚨 WOW! Democrats are furious as a law will soon take effect in Florida REQUIRING that EVERY driver's license issued will need to display whether the person is a NON-CITIZEN as part of the state's SAVE America Act
Florida did it right again ☀️
The law also ENSURES only citizens vote.
Do it nationwide 🇺🇸
🚨 Palantir CEO Alex Karp Warns a Wealth Tax is a Trojan Horse For Mass Surveillance
“To enforce a wealth tax, you're going to need surveillance because I'm going to need to know what the bench in your house in New Orleans is worth … AI could impute every single thing you own.”
@Blurspell Fond memories for me. Every once in awhile there was some asshat kid bullying someone else. I would unload and walk away. Cathartic. Ended up being very few bullies in my school for some reason.
🚨 JUST IN: Starlink just saved a family trapped by a monster snowstorm in Argentina.
A meter of snow. No power. No food. No firewood.
Two little girls sleeping in sleeping bags to stay alive.
Their dad set a Starlink dish on his car and called for help. Rescuers punched through the snow and got them out hours later.
Elon built a lifeline.
Chappelle just did the one thing no sponsor can spin.
He got on stage, admitted he knows he shouldn’t say it, then said he feels better because Charlie Kirk was murdered, and the room laughed.
That’s not free speech. That’s a man confirming, out loud, that a husband’s and father’s assassination improved his day.
Every brand still attached to him is now choosing to underwrite that.
There is no “context” version of this that survives a single board meeting.
