SpaceX's Q3 profitability lets it fund much more of its buildout, significantly reducing the need for outside financing. Revenue of $14.6B and adjusted EBITDA of $8.8B beat even the high cases; free cash flow was still -$10B after $19.6B of capex. SpaceX said new compute deals price a bit above $30-$50 per watt with payback under a year, though Q4 capex is guided to $35-$40B. Starlink subscribers fell just short of the low case but beat the Street, and consumer revenue grew 26%. x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
