@zompus @sundogplanets They aren't. The physics of heat doesn't work out, nor is there much in the way of rad hard compute that you could put in orbit. Like much of what Musk talks about, the orbital data centers thing is bullshit, not a real thing.

@saxicola @mr_daemon Gods what an annoyance. Just one line guys, I need to know if the search that brought me here was in any way successful or a wrong turn!

@lauren @sundogplanets I think this one is about the IPO - he wants to pawn off SpaceX on the open market (especially now that he's rolled the other loser companies into it), and this is about hyping SpaceX. If the commentary were to kill the idea ASAP, it might help fubar the IPO, which would be good for all the rest of us.

@da_667 @mttaggart The longer this horseshit goes on, the worse things will be when it all collapses. They're throwing around enough money that the real economy is going to be affected when they die, and them dying is inevitable.
