> The basic math is that launching a million tons per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per ton would add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually, with no ongoing operational or maintenance needs. Ultimately, there is a path to launching 1 TW/year from Earth.

> My estimate is that within 2 to 3 years, the lowest cost way to generate AI compute will be in space.

This is so obviously false. For one thing, in what fantasy world would the ongoing operational and maintenance needs be 0?

The average person is not aware or does not care about Elon Musk’s claims and whether or not they come true.

The average person sees some headlines and gets a vague awareness that the guy is some kind of super genius who is single handedly changing the world.

The average person who has an opinion on musk has roughly the same long term memory consolidation pattern as the average person in general.
