Jeff Bezos has cast doubt on Elon Musk’s timeline for deploying data centers in space. The Amazon founder described the proposed schedule for the technology as overly optimistic.
Bezos made the remarks about SpaceX’s ambitious plans. He noted that some of the timelines currently being discussed are very short. He called those projections a “little ambitious.”
The technology is central to SpaceX’s potential initial public offering. Space-based data centers could offer faster processing and lower latency for certain applications.
However, Bezos signaled skepticism about Musk’s pace. He did not rule out the concept itself but focused on the feasibility of the timeline.
Bezos’ company Blue Origin is also pursuing space ventures. The two billionaires have a long-standing rivalry in the aerospace sector.
Experts note the challenges of building and maintaining data centers in orbit. Radiation, cooling, and power supply remain significant hurdles.
Despite the skepticism, interest in off-world computing continues to grow. Major tech firms are exploring space-based infrastructure for data processing.
