Earlier this month, SpaceX and Anthropic announced a new computer partnership which provides access to the data center of the rocket company Colossus in Memphis, TN. Now, with the release of SpaceX’s IPO filingWe have more information about the deal, including how much Anthropic is paying Elon Musk’s company.
In its S-1 filing, SpaceX said Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.25 billion per month until May 2029 to acquire SpaceX’s AI training facilities for Colossus I and Colossus II. That’s $15 billion a year, or nearly double the $18.7 billion that SpaceX has projected for all of 2025.
The contract includes a clause that either company can terminate the contract within 90 days. And Anthropic’s fee will be reduced for power upgrades this month and next.
The exit phase should be important given the rapid pace of the AI market. In other words, Anthropic’s Claude competes with X’s Grok. And it’s a sign of how ambitious AI companies like Anthropic are power calculationespecially when data centers are built across the country the most critical in the community.
In a post on X, Musk said that SpaceX is ready to offer the same to other AI companies that want to access data centers. SpaceX is “delivering AI computing as a service at scale,” he said.
SpaceX has been investing heavily in AI since the company launched integrated with Elon Musk’s xAI earlier this year. According to the filing, the rocket company spent $ 12.7 billion in capital spending on AI in 2025, or about 61 percent of the total. It spent $7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, compared to just $1 billion in its aerospace division. SpaceX’s AI division lost $6.3 billion in revenue on $3.2 billion in 2025, and lost $2.5 billion on $818 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2026.
Meanwhile, Anthropic is headed for its first quarterly profit, where sales are expected to reach about $10.9 billion, more than double its $4.8 billion in earnings just ended in March. Reuters reports.
