Background & analysis
On November 13, 2026, SpaceX announced plans to build two AI supercomputing campuses in Arizona and Texas, with total investment of roughly $74B. The project in Cochise County, Arizona is valued at about $50B, while the site near the company's Starbase headquarters in Texas carries an investment of around $24B and includes a gas-fired power plant that SpaceX will build, own, and operate. Several outlets reported the news throughout the day, citing the New York Times and Reuters, with some describing the total as exceeding $74B, so the precise figures still differ slightly across accounts.
The reports indicate that SpaceX currently sells computing capacity to Anthropic and Google and has become a key infrastructure partner for Anthropic and Alphabet, while also developing its own AI models and working with Tesla on a chip fabrication project called Terafab. One report notes that SpaceX said in October that its AI business generated more than 50% of its revenue, and the Reuters piece likewise states that AI revenue already accounts for over half of the company's total.
On employment and local matters, SpaceX says construction at the Texas data center has created more than 3,000 construction jobs, with 500 permanent positions expected once it begins operating. The Cochise County project is projected to create roughly 5,500 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent jobs. The Arizona project has already drawn local opposition. At this stage, the story remains at the point where the campus plans have been publicly announced and construction is moving forward.
