Summary
SpaceX has secured a $6.3 billion compute capacity deal with AI startup Reflection, which will lease access to Nvidia GB300s at SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, Tennessee. Reflection will pay $150 million per month from July 2026 through 2029. The Colossus 2 data center came online in January, though there are discrepancies between Musk's claimed 1GW capacity and satellite imagery suggesting only 350MW of cooling equipment installed.
