SpaceX said on 12 Nov 2026 that it plans to invest more than $74 billion in two supercomputing campuses. It expects to spend more than $24 billion on its Starbase site in Texas and roughly $50 billion on a campus in Cochise County, Arizona. The Arizona campus needs approval from Cochise County and would create about 5,500 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent jobs, and the Starbase City Commission is due to consider a property tax abatement for the project on 9 December.

Why it matters

Cochise County officials must approve the Arizona campus, with a public hearing set for December, and the Starbase facility would generate its own electricity.
