Just spitballing here, but what if you built it on Earth, and then used the savings to build a second one on the opposite side of Earth? Now you have equivalently continuous power via solar array and also, as a bonus, air.

Not continuous because weather is a thing. Also the sun isnt directly overhead the entire time so need a much larger array

Okay, build 12 datacenters, 30 degrees of longitude apart. I'm pretty sure it's still far cheaper.

Well I guess it's a good thing for them they actually did the math. Please show me where they sell you electricity at ~$0.002/kWh where it's politically stable enough to build super expensive datacenters.
