Axios reported Musk said on SpaceX's Q2 earnings call that the company decided to build out AI infrastructure with Nvidia chips, citing Vera Rubin; Chinese market-media relay (财闻 via Sina) added that Musk described an exclusive Nvidia relationship and expected a large share of Nvidia GPU supply next year. CNBC, citing SpaceX financial filings, reported $295 million of Tesla Megapack purchases in Q2 2026 (H1 total $329 million) to help power the Colossus data centers near Memphis; on the call Musk set a tentative target of 20 GW of power and cooling online by end of next year, about 15 GW at the power-plant level. The relay also cites Q2 compute expansion to 1.4 GW, targets of 2 GW by end-2026 and 10 GW by end-2027, and Q2 capex of $18.4 billion ($15.8 billion AI). SpaceX's August 4 Form 8-K confirms the Q2 release but includes no complete call transcript or Nvidia purchase terms.
SpaceX's SEC 8-K confirms the August 4 Q2 release, and the quarterly filings disclose the Megapack purchases, but no complete call transcript is included and Nvidia deployment scope, exclusivity, volume, timing or contract value are not separately confirmed.
