Can orbital data centers help justify a massive valuation for SpaceX?

# SpaceX's Space Data Centers: A Risky Bet on an Unproven Idea Elon Musk is proposing to build data centers in orbit around Earth, betting this could justify SpaceX's massive $210 billion valuation—but it's unclear whether the benefits would actually outweigh the enormous costs of launching and maintaining equipment in space. The idea sounds futuristic, but experts are skeptical that servers floating in orbit would be better than the massive, efficient data centers companies already have on the ground. Essentially, SpaceX would need to prove this expensive gamble makes financial sense before investors should treat it as a real value driver.
