SpaceX has significantly increased its purchases of Tesla Megapacks, spending $329 million so far this year. The company is procuring the large-scale battery systems to power data centers supporting its artificial intelligence division, xAI.

The purchases demonstrate a growing reliance on Tesla’s energy solutions by SpaceX. According to reports, the $329M worth of Megapacks have been acquired specifically for use in powering the computational infrastructure required for xAI's operations. This indicates that xAI is rapidly expanding its data center capacity.

The increased spending highlights the substantial investment SpaceX is making into artificial intelligence and the necessary infrastructure to support it. While details about xAI’s specific AI projects remain limited, the need for significant power resources suggests ambitious computational demands.
