After a very heated argument yesterday about Musk’s BS about space data centers I thought I’d note this down for future reference. Putting a data center in space is a dumb as putting it in a thermos. This doesn’t even cover things like the importance of node interconnect latency… but that’s more college level compsci.
So Tesla stopped paying for referrals that require selling a car, and started paying for the ones that move the number in Musk’s pay package. We think that tells you a lot about where the company’s priorities are right now. https://electrek.co/2026/10/30/tesla-referral-program-fsd-car-rewards-dropped/

If we accept these calculations, then a Starship lunar mission will require at least 69 launches (68 tanker missions plus one outgoing Starship) to carry 50 tons of payload to the Moon. Now, I…
