The Texas project includes a gas-fired power plant near Starbase, while Arizona accounts for $50 billion of the planned investment.
SpaceX plans a combined $74 billion investment in two computing facilities in Arizona and Texas, expanding infrastructure for its fast-growing artificial intelligence business.
The company announced the plan Thursday on its website. The larger project is a $50 billion facility in Arizona. A second project, valued at $24 billion, is planned near SpaceX's Starbase headquarters in Texas. Together, the two sites make up the full $74 billion buildout, with $50 billion allocated to Arizona and $24 billion to Texas.
The Texas development also includes a gas-fired power plant that SpaceX plans to build, own and operate at the project site. That makes power generation part of the Texas plan alongside the computing facility. The Arizona project is described as a computing facility, while the Texas investment combines computing infrastructure with the planned plant.
SpaceX said the two facilities are intended to strengthen its growing AI business. The company's announcement centers on a two-state expansion, with separate investments and infrastructure planned for each location.
