Are Space-Based Data Centers Economical?

The Information's Theo Wayt and Cory Weinberg talk with TITV Host Akash Pasricha about the massive $250 billion merger between SpaceX and xAI and what it means for Musk's space-based AI ambitions. We also talk with MoffettNathanson’s Craig Moffett about the "thin" industrial logic of Elon’s space data centers and Jefferies’ Brent Thill about Palantir’s record growth amid a broader software market reset. Finally, we get into Disney’s CEO succession and why the company is betting its future on parks with our co-executive editor Martin Peers.
