- SpaceX appears in public records to be building a "Starbase supercomputer" in Texas, putting the company's AI data center push on the ground in the state.
- Gina Hinojosa's election as governor may delay some of SpaceX's data center plans in Texas, with the source scoping the risk to "some" of the plans rather than the full buildout.
- Elon Musk moved early to build AI data centers in Tennessee and Mississippi, and that head start reaped the rewards.
- Tennessee and Mississippi already host the AI data centers Musk built early, leaving the Texas supercomputer as the project now exposed to election-driven timing.
Why it matters: Musk's head start on AI data centers in Tennessee and Mississippi already reaped rewards; the exposed timeline is in Texas, where Hinojosa's election is tied to delays for some of SpaceX's data center plans. The contrast is concrete: two states delivered early, while the third now follows the clock of a newly elected governor.
