Two weeks earlier, Ben had argued the SpaceX IPO was overvalued given the revenue picture. Then the Google compute deal landed. At $920 million per month, $11 billion per year in new ARR from a single contract, the thesis flipped. [1] — Ben "$11B/year from one Google deal: SpaceX's deal with Google adds approximately $920 million per month — around $11 billion per year — in annu…" 07:06 The deal added more annual revenue in one stroke than Snowflake's entire annual run rate, Ben notes — a vivid benchmark for the scale involved.
