Google Signs $30 Billion Cloud Computing Deal With Elon Musk’s SpaceX
Google has entered into a landmark cloud computing agreement with Elon Musk-led SpaceX, committing about $30 billion over three years to secure additional computing capacity for its expanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) operations. According to regulatory filings, Google will pay SpaceX about $920 million monthly from October 2026 to June 2029 in exchange for access to advanced computing infrastructure powered largely by Nvidia chips. The deal is among the largest AI infrastructure agreements announced this year and highlights growing competition among global tech firms to secure computing power for next-generation Artificial Intelligence systems. Under the arrangement, Google will gain access to roughly 110,000 Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs), along with memory chips, processors and related hardware needed to support large-scale AI workloads. Industry estimates indicate the infrastructure could deliver over 100 megawatts of computing capacity, sufficient for training an...
