Anthropic has a similar deal apparently 

Today i learned that spacex has so much computing infrastructure

One of reasons why they have so much infrastructure available is that severely overestimated how many people would be using Grok.

That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍

I, too, cannot wrap my head around this number...

What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.?

Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.

From what i understand from the article on the link, Google is buying from SpaceX access to a limited supply of Nvidia CPUs.   Evidendtly SpaceX was able to secure access to the Nvidia GPUs shutting out Google from buying them directly from Nvidia resulting in this reverse deal.
