I feel like if they just expanded this logic slightly they would realize that data centers as an investment class are uninvestable.

Yet Mr Musk does appear to have lunar ambitions for Tesla’s humanoids. He outlined a “super sci-fi” future in which they would operate factories on the Moon building solar panels and radiators for SpaceX’s satellites. Humans may be the advanced guard. Ms Shotwell said SpaceX’s aim was to put “boots on the Moon” as early as 2028.

Do company executives really make these sort of claims with a straight face? More importantly, does anybody in the "public" really believe them?
