Scale ISS-style hardware to the modest 1 megawatt data centre, and the mass is punishing: roughly 100 tons of radiators alone. By comparison, 1 megawatt of cutting-edge AI compute racks is on the order of 10 tons. That is the economic knife edge: the radiators alone could weigh close to ten times more than the compute hardware. Since launch cost scales with mass, cooling could impose an order-of-magnitude launch-cost penalty, before the first token is generated.
He did. He is pushing the concept of space data centers because he OWNS the launch systems that would put them up there. All those exploding costs because of the launch mass they talk about? Yea those costs would go to him.
A quick google search aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

Also; slop?
idfk I’m more agreeing with the guy and the article leans towards the guy being right too. I am not a scientist.
It’s crazy though that elon musk, the person who owns SpaceX, didn’t know about the radiation thing.
