It's another hyperloop scam and nothing more. Even if we could put datacenters in orbit, there's no reason to. There is plenty of space here on the planet that doesn't involve launching rockets and then later dropping the decommissioned datacenter back into the atmosphere to burn up and/or impact the ground.

Data is faster, power is cheaper, cooling is free. There's no reason for it other than to juice spacex stock. It's just another Elon scam to pump stocks. I don't know why anyone wastes breath talking about anything he says.

By that logic, was the Concorde also a "scam"? Are companies not allowed to try out new things without a guarantee that they will work and scale?
