MMW: The "AI Datacenters in space" is just a cover to put something else in space.

Evidence: Musk and co have recently started talking a lot about "data centers in space". But technically and financially, that makes no sense at all, there's no reason for them to be in space. Which is why I think it's a cover to send something else.

For those that don't know, every time you launch a satellite into space, everyone knows about it and can track it. So you can't launch satellites in secret without pretending its something else. So they're planning to send a bunch of big heavy stuff into space which they don't want us to know what it is, and that's why they came up with the data centers cover story.

Probably a military application, more specifically nukes in space. The idea of space-based nukes is that they can drop anywhere in the world with very short warning, plus since there's no missile launch there's plausible deniability, it might not ever be clear which country was responsible for the strike. That's why they're highly controversial and no country has them yet (as far as we know).
