SpaceX AI Unit 'Super Intelligence' Drives Record Revenue and Profitability via Nvidia Hardware
SpaceX has reported a transformative third quarter, achieving its first profitable quarter since going public with $4.4 billion in net income. The company's growth is being driven primarily by its new AI unit, Super Intelligence, which generated $7.56 billion in revenue—surpassing the combined revenue of Starlink and the rocket business. This segment grew ninefold year-over-year, fueled by massive cloud computing agreements with companies like Anthropic and Google. Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX's future infrastructure will rely heavily on Nvidia hardware, specifically targeting a training cluster of 440,000 Vera Rubin chips by the end of Q2 next year. This massive demand for high-end silicon provides a significant tailwind for Nvidia as SpaceX continues to lease out vast amounts of computing power to other AI developers.
