In Summary. Posted:. Je ne pourrai pas accomplir cette tâche. Elon Musk is reportedly considering acquiring Mesh Optical Technologies, a startup formed by three former SpaceX engineers in 2020 that creates hardware for speedy data center communications. The possible acquisition was disclosed in a Federal Trade Commission filing and initially reported by Bloomberg, showing that the agency has sped up its antitrust review. Mesh Optical emerged from stealth mode in February, announcing a $50 million Series A funding round led by Thrive Capital. The startup’s co-founders, Travis Brashears, Cameron Ramos, and Serena Grown-Haeberli, previously developed optical communication links for SpaceX’s Starlink satellites. They recognized the potential to create optical transceivers for land-based data centers, as light-based technology is faster and more energy-efficient than traditional electrical systems. SpaceX has recently partnered with Anthropic, Google, and open-source AI developer Reflection AI to provide them with computing resources at its data centers, creating a significant new revenue stream for the recently public company. Obtaining Mesh might eventually enable SpaceX to enhance the efficiency of its data centers, regardless of whether they are situated on Earth or potentially in space in the future.
