Friends, Mesh Optical — possible SpaceX/Musk acquisition: what it means for data centers

Friends, I want to share news from the world of data centers and hardware. The FTC has accelerated its review of Elon Musk's proposed acquisition of Mesh Optical Technologies.

The gist: Mesh is a team of former SpaceX engineers who developed optical links for Starlink. The company manufactures optical transceivers for terrestrial data centers.

Risks and opportunities: integrating Mesh into SpaceX's ecosystem could increase data center throughput and energy efficiency, and optimize compute capacity for partners.

Why it matters: this could be a step toward faster, more energy‑efficient data centers.

Do you think such an acquisition will accelerate development of optical infrastructure across the industry?
