Either this is a straight up con, or Musk found a glitch in physics. It's extremely difficult to keep things cold in space.

Existing satellites manage to keep their equipment that already can consume several kW cool just fine.

You might need space for radiators, but there is plenty space in space.

Several kW is nothing for a bank of GPUs.

Radiators in space are extremely inefficient because there's no conduction.

Also you have huge heat inputs from the sun. So you need substantial cooling before you get around to actually cooling the GPUs.
