SpaceX said on Thursday it plans to spend about $50 billion on an artificial intelligence supercomputing campus in Cochise County, Arizona, and the site could draw up to 6 gigawatts of electricity at full buildout. The company announced the project together with a $24 billion supercompute facility at Starbase, Texas, which brings its planned spending on the two sites to more than $74 billion.
