HOUSTON: (Sep 1) Commercial space firm SpaceX is constructing a specialised in-house foundry to manufacture high-spec gas turbine blades and vanes, CEO Elon Musk confirmed.

Confirming the plans on social media platform X, Musk on Saturday noted that while SpaceX and Tesla are racing to scale solar panel production, natural gas remains necessary to bridge power demands for several years.

The strategic expansion targets a severe supply chain bottleneck that has stalled power generation required for artificial intelligence (AI) data centres across the United States.
