SpaceX is preparing more than $74 billion for AI computing sites in Texas and Arizona as Elon Musk rejected reports that Anthropic was ending a reported $120.5 billion agreement. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 2 outlets (Bitcoin.com, Blockonomi), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Sat, 14 Nov 2026 04:45:01 UTC.
The expansion would place SpaceX deeper in AI infrastructure while questions remain about the durability of a major Anthropic arrangement that reportedly contributed heavily to quarterly revenue.
- SpaceX plans more than $74 billion for AI facilities in Texas and Arizona.
- Musk rejected speculation that Anthropic was leaving a reported $120.5 billion agreement.
- AI reportedly generated more than half of SpaceX’s third-quarter revenue.
- Crypto markets were broadly lower, with Bitcoin down 3.07% and Fear & Greed at 13.
Bitcoin.com and Blockonomi agree that SpaceX plans more than $74 billion for AI computing infrastructure, including projects in Texas and Arizona, while Elon Musk dismissed reports that Anthropic was abandoning a reported $120.5 billion agreement. Bitcoin.com emphasizes AI’s contribution of more than half of SpaceX’s third-quarter revenue and the Anthropic agreement’s substantial share, whereas Blockonomi breaks out a $24 billion Starbase facility and a $50 billion Arizona campus. Blockonomi also reports that SPCX shares fell 0.97% to $138.58 after touching an intraday low below $137; neither outlet contradicts the others on the core investment figure.
SpaceX is outlining more than $74 billion in spending on artificial-intelligence computing facilities as Elon Musk pushed back against speculation that Anthropic was walking away from a reported $120.5 billion agreement. The proposed buildout covers two projects, with Blockonomi identifying a $24 billion Starbase facility in South Texas and a $50 billion AI campus in Arizona.
The Texas project would generate its own power, according to Blockonomi. The Arizona proposal is moving through a zoning process, with a hearing scheduled for Dec. 9 in Cochise. Together, the two disclosed projects account for the figure of more than $74 billion cited by both 
Bitcoin.com and Blockonomi.
Bitcoin.com reports that AI generated more than half of SpaceX’s third-quarter revenue and that the Anthropic arrangement represented a substantial portion of that business. Musk’s response to exit speculation therefore comes amid a major planned infrastructure expansion rather than a retreat from AI investment, although the coverage does not describe the financial terms of the reported Anthropic agreement in detail.
Market reaction was modest in the shares reported by Blockonomi: SPCX fell 0.97% to $138.58 after recovering from an intraday low below $137. The report does not establish a direct connection between that move and either the AI investment announcement or Musk’s response to the Anthropic speculation.
The wider context was risk-off in crypto. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.32 trillion, the overall market was broadly lower, and Bitcoin was down 3.07% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed reading was 13, classified as Extreme Fear; no specific crypto asset was linked to the SpaceX developments. What remains relevant to watch is the zoning process for the Arizona campus, the power arrangements for the Texas facility and further clarity on the reported Anthropic agreement.
