Elon Musk explains how data centers in Space could help the US compete with China in AI “Given that Chinese AI companies are doing as well as they are with a relatively small amount of compute, it seems that if they had a lot of compute, there’s a good...

"China is very interested in making sure that no heavy industry ever goes hungry for power." Elon's been saying this for years, and he's right: the AI scaling constraint is shifting from chips → transformers → energy. Dan Wang explains how China is already scaling electricity production far faster than the U.S. > China is adding 500 GW of solar capacity v. 50GW in the U.S. > 33 nuclear plants under construction in China, and zero in the U.S.

Peter Navarro: "We're looking very very carefully at this whole problem of AI data centers driving up the cost of electricity for Americans. You can expect strong action from President Trump on this. It's amazing in a bad way how much electricity is projected for the AI folks to use, and a significant amount of electricity these AI centers are using is serving ChatGPT users in places like India and China."

Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang was asked about a recent story that said he warned that China will beat the US in the AI race “That’s not what I said. What I said was China has very good AI technology. They have many AI researchers, in fact 50% of the world’s AI researchers are in China. And they develop very good AI technology. In fact, the most popular AI models in the world today, open-source models, are from China. So, they are moving very, very fast. The United States has to continue to move incredibly fast. And otherwise, otherwise – the world is very competitive, so we have to run fast.” (H/T Dan Nystedt)

The world is unaware of how deeply dependent the United States and China are on each other. The idea that the United States can decouple from China is flawed." ---- From 'TIME' YT channel (link in comment)

Elon Musk: The real bottleneck for AI is not chips, it is electricity. “If you look at electrical output outside of China, everywhere outside of China, it’s more or less flat. It’s maybe a slight increase, but pretty close flat. China has a rapid increase in electrical output. But if you’re putting data centers anywhere except China, where are you going to get your electricity? Especially as you scale. The output of chips is growing pretty much exponentially, but the output of electricity is flat. So how are you going to turn the chips on? Magical power sources? Magical electricity fairies? It’s harder to build on land than it is in space. It’s harder to scale on the ground than it is to scale in space. But also, you’re going to get about 5 times the effectiveness of solar panels in space versus the ground, and you don’t need batteries. I almost wore my other shirt, which says it’s always sunny in space because you don’t have a day-night cycle or seasonality, clouds, or an atmosphere in space. The atmosphere alone results in about a 30% loss of energy. So, any given solar panels can do about 5 times more power in space than on the ground, and you avoid the cost of having batteries to carry you through the night. So it’s actually much cheaper to do it in space. And my prediction is that it will be by far the cheapest place to put AI. It will be space in 36 months or less, maybe 30 months.” Dwarkesh Podcast, February 5, 2026.

ELON MUSK: "For the next few years America is likely to win the race in AI. Then it will be a function of who controls the AI chip fabrication. If more of the factories are owned by China then China will win. Right now all the chip fabs are in Taiwan. 100%. If China invades Taiwan in the near term the world will be cut off from advanced AI chips. I think it's essential for national security that we begin manufacturing our own chips in the US."

Jensen Huang is warning that China is winning the AI energy race. $NVDA $AMD $IREN $NBIS 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 The US is generations ahead on chips, but that doesn't matter if there is no energy to power them. Europe is completely irrelevant in AI and doomed already. It takes 10 years to build a new data center in Germany, as there is no power, and they are turning off nuclear power plants. The US won't let China win, so we could be at the beginning stages of an energy boom. The question is which stocks will benefit from this boom the most?

NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, warns that America's lead in AI is far from secure. He breaks down the US-China AI competition into what he calls a "five-layer cake." And while the US dominates some layers, Jensen sees critical vulnerabilities in others... 1) Energy: China has twice as much as the US despite a smaller economy. Which "makes no sense" to Jensen. 2) Chips: The US is "generations ahead," but Jensen warns against complacency. "Anybody who thinks China can't manufacture is missing the big idea." 3) Infrastructure: Standing up a data center in the US takes about three years. In China? "They can build a hospital in a weekend." 4) Models: US frontier models are "unquestionably world class," but "China is well ahead, way ahead on open source." 5) Applications: Public sentiment differs sharply. Ask both populations whether AI will do more good than harm, and "in their case 80% would say AI will do more good than harm. In our case, it'd be the other way around." Jensen's warning is clear. Leading in chips and frontier models isn't enough when you're behind on energy, infrastructure speed, open source, and public trust. Winning the AI race requires strength across the entire stack, and right now, the US has work to do.

"It all comes down to compute." Dmitri Alperovitch from Silverado Policy Accelerator explains: "The single most important input to winning is compute the processing power used to train and run AI models. Let me say that plainly, because it is defining that everything that congress and this committee do on AI policy. The binding constraint in this competition is not talent, it is not data, and it is not cash. Both the United States and China have talented researchers and financial resources, and we have learned that frontier models trained on generic data routinely outperform smaller models, trained on more specialized inputs. It all comes down to compute."

Elon Musk: For the next few years, I think America is likely to win the artificial intelligence race. But that early lead is fragile and short-lived. Ultimately, the global victor will be decided by a single factor: it will be a function of who controls the AI chip fabrication. The factories that make the AI chips, who controls them? That is where the real power lies. If those facilities are controlled, if more of them are controlled by China, then China will win the future of AI. Right now, almost all the advanced AI chip factories, they call them fabs, are located in Taiwan. That immense concentration of manufacturing creates a massive vulnerability for the rest of the globe. If China invades Taiwan, what happens to the world? Well, if they were to invade in the near term, the entire world would essentially be cut off from advanced AI chips overnight. Everything would grind to a halt. Currently, one hundred percent of advanced AI chips are made in Taiwan. We are relying entirely on a single location for the critical hardware that will define the next era of human technology and military dominance. Bringing that manufacturing power back home and securing our own supply chain is absolutely essential for national security, and the harsh reality is that we are simply not doing enough to prepare.

Why wouldn’t China want more data centers built in the United States? Simple, the nation that leads in AI will lead the future, economically, technologically, and militarily. We’re already seeing it happen in real time as AI drives unprecedented productivity and margin expansion across every sector of the economy. While America debates permits, regulations, and protests over data centers, China is rapidly building power infrastructure and scaling compute capacity as fast as possible. This race is no longer theoretical. Whoever has the most compute, the best models, and the strongest infrastructure will shape the next era of global power.

The AI divide between the United States and Europe is becoming impossible to ignore. In the US, xAI built the world’s largest AI facility in just 122 days. In France or Germany, it could take five years simply to secure the permits. And even if Europe could build faster, power is the deeper constraint. Europe has the highest industrial electricity in the world. And, it is an net energy importer. If Europe doesn't unlock cheaper electricity (fast!) it will fall further behind.
