Musk claims SpaceX reaches supercompute goals others miss; Colossus 2 scale reported
Overview
Elon Musk posted on X on November 1, 2026, that other supercompute projects cannot reach their goals while SpaceX is already achieving his.
He did not name the projects or give measures for the claim.
A quoted post says SpaceXAI's Colossus 2 in Memphis has roughly 1.11 million H100 equivalents, with more Blackwell clusters expected by mid-2027. A later post by indigo says Musk confirmed Colossus 2's scale, citing about 220,000 GB300s in each of two clusters, a third planned at the same size by late November, and about 200,000 more GPUs in December focused on inference. indigo says the year-end target is about 1.2 million Blackwell-series GPUs and cites Epoch AI for about 1.1 million H100-equivalent compute and nearly 1GW of power. The reports do not show an independent check of these figures, and the indigo post does not attribute the confirmation to a Musk statement that it quotes.
