SpaceX skeptics have added reason for concern after Musk comments diverge from IPO filing
Summary
Elon Musk's social media post about SpaceX's deal with AI company Anthropic contradicts details in SpaceX's IPO (initial public offering, when a private company sells shares to the public) filing, creating confusion for investors. The filing says Anthropic will pay SpaceX $1.25 billion per month through May 2029, but Musk claimed the lease is only 180 days with a 90-day cancellation option, potentially worth far less. This discrepancy matters because it affects how much revenue SpaceX can expect from this new compute capacity (computing power) business.
