Satellites still have cooling (radiators, heatpipes), but with only radiation they are orders of magnitude less efficient. So having a satelite that is like 0.1% datacentre & the rest just for cooling is kinda a stupid idea (and that is before adding solar panels, that themselves too have to be cooled the same inefficient way!).

It's not impossible or anything, just really stupid, especially if the point is easier cooling. It's not surprising knowing the source tho (dude prob just saw undersea datacentres & thought space is cooler).

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
