- SpaceX is in talks to supply the Pentagon with computing power for its AI push, according to WSJ reporting corroborated by Reuters.
- SpaceX is pitching billions of dollars' worth of AI computing capacity to the Pentagon while its stock trades below its IPO price.
Why it matters: A Pentagon AI contract would expand SpaceX beyond launch services into government AI infrastructure, a potentially large new revenue line. The sub-IPO stock backdrop gives the pitch added urgency: SpaceX needs a credible growth narrative beyond rockets and Starlink to win back public-market investors.
