but this is all a coordinated scam to pump up stock prices

That's true of many press releases, yes.

no, the whole concept of orbital datacenters

I continue to fail to see how this design solves the issues that can only be solved by breaking the laws of physics in cooling and shielding.

Is it possible that your understanding of the problems is not quite on par with the best engineers in the world?

Nothing that the best materials scientist in the world can do will ever break the laws of thermodynamics so I’d say it’s much more likely that Elon is getting played like countless times evidenced by the many times he’s talked out of his ass about things he didn’t understand.

I'm assume you would have said the thing about an orbital shell of 10k satellites with laser links for global internet. Or a fully reusable 2nd stage made of steel.

No, microsatellites have been a thing long before SpaceX developed them.
Maybe you don't understand physics, or can you explain exactly how SpaceX plans to deploy a solar array of sufficient size to power a data center with the necessary radiators to have meaningful compute?

Anyone who told you that any laws of physics are being broken is lying to you.
Daishiman 11 hours ago [-]
What's the surface area of radiators that this thing is going to need? The cost of compute in space is determined by the energy that must be gathered and dissipated. What about micrometeorites? There's nothing economically viable or meaningful about running a data center in space.
