SoftBank's Masayoshi Son refuted Elon Musk's space data center remarks on June 23 and bet on ground-based AI computing. According to Guru Club, SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son dismissed Elon Musk's space data center proposal at the company's annual shareholder meeting on June 23, stating that AI competition will be determined by ground computing power. Son said that although space data centers seem capable of significant electricity cost savings, electricity expenses account for only a small part of total data center operating costs, with semiconductor hardware being the main expenditure. He added that even if energy savings are achieved, the high costs of space transportation and maintenance, along with communication latency issues, would make the scheme economically unviable. Son emphasized that short-term AI competition is more important than long-term vision, and SoftBank will focus on building large-scale, powerful ground data centers, noting that "the early mover wins."#Gate股票7x24小时交易
