Musk Targets $1 Trillion SpaceX Revenue by 2030 as AI Data Centers Drive 53-Fold Jump

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 15

Summary

  • $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030 is Elon Musk’s new target for SpaceX, up from $18.7 billion in 2025 and from a projected $100 billion in annual recurring revenue by end-2026.
  • AI data centers are central to that plan: Musk said SpaceX has signed deals with Alphabet and Anthropic and is rapidly shifting from a space-services company into AI infrastructure.
  • $19 billion in quarterly capital spending has already gone mainly to data-center construction, and SpaceX aims to bring 15 to 20 gigawatts of power capacity online by the end of next year.
  • Most of any 2030 revenue haul would come from AI compute and data-center contracts rather than Starlink or launch services, extending Musk’s earlier claim that AI could account for 99% of SpaceX’s value within four to five years.
