SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated on Thursday that SpaceX has only agreed to lease the Colossus AI training data center cluster to Anthropic for six months, but he added that the agreement "has the potential" to be extended for several years. "SpaceX has not committed to leasing Colossus for many years, although that could indeed happen."

Earlier this year, SpaceX reached an agreement with Anthropic, which pays $1.25 billion per month to use the computing power of the Colossus and Colossus II data center clusters located in Memphis, Tennessee, with the agreement valid until May 2029. SpaceX stated in regulatory filings last week that either party could terminate the agreement with 90 days' notice. The document did not mention the six-month lease agreement.

Musk stated that the agreement is a 180-day lease contract, after which either party can terminate with 90 days' notice, "We won't put them in a bind and will provide a reasonable exit plan, but if computing resources become extremely tight, I have indicated that we may need to reclaim those resources at some point."

According to SpaceX's IPO filing, the company's AI business unit generated $818 million in revenue for the quarter ending in March, with an operating loss of approximately $2.5 billion.
