In Episode 79 of What the AI?!, Jeff Keltner and Annie Delgado break down the hidden economics inside SpaceX's filing, including the massive Anthropic compute deal that could generate roughly $15 billion in annual revenue and instantly become one of the most important businesses inside Elon Musk's empire.
