Elon Musk Suggests Space Data Centres After US Mid-Term Election Results

Times of India · technology

Hours after the US mid-term election results, Elon Musk stated that building data centres in space is becoming increasingly appealing. This comment follows a strong performance by Democrats, including a surprise win in Texas where a candidate opposed data centre expansion. Musk, a Republican supporter who has invested heavily in Texas, joked about his election-interfering space lasers not working. His remarks come amid growing political scrutiny of large data centres due to concerns over electricity costs and environmental impacts.
