What was said
"A deal between the two tech titans would give a boost to SpaceX's business ahead of a historic public listing. A launch deal would put the two companies in a partnership as they gear up to compete on orbital data centers, an unproven technology."
SpaceX and Google are negotiating a partnership to launch data centers into orbit, representing what Elon Musk has called the next frontier for his rocket company. The move would address environmental concerns about ground-based data centers, which consume massive amounts of water and electricity while producing infrasound that affects nearby residents. Orbital facilities would use solar power and vacuum cooling, though the technology remains unproven and raises questions about international airspace conflicts.
