SpaceX doubles revenues on Anthropic and Google compute deals, Starlink growth
↗
SpaceX’s Q2 revenue nearly doubled, driven by higher Starlink sales and new AI-compute contracts with Anthropic and Google.
The influx of AI-compute revenue shows that SpaceX’s data-center assets can be monetized beyond internal use, creating a new high-margin line for engineers to tap. At the same time, the continued loss indicates that the added income does not yet cover the full cost base, so any integration must consider ongoing expense recovery.
