@davidgerard Musk must know on some level that his plan is impossible. You can't shoot the notoriously unreliable GB200 with direct-to-chip cooling into LEO. To start with you'd need a new GPU architecture that emits no heat and is hardened to cosmic rays.

It smells like the dancing clown they threw onto the public square to distract from some kind of stock-fraud / corporate governance-fraud that Elon wants to get away with in the background.
