Musk outlines SpaceX’s trillion-dollar dream, Moon factories, and global internet ambitions

Elon Musk used SpaceX’s first earnings call to forecast SpaceX revenue reaching about $1 trillion by 2030 (with a slim chance of 2029), argued that building data centers is far easier for rocket engineers than rockets themselves, floated the idea of Moon-based factories to scale the space economy, suggested Starlink could eventually provide the majority of the world’s internet within less than a decade, and credited Claude 4.5 as a milestone while signaling AI progress could accelerate dramatically by the end of next year.
