Verdict

Reported. 36Kr, citing Sina Finance, relays media coverage of Musk’s Sunday-evening X reply that the SpaceX–Anthropic compute deal is mutually binding—if compute supply rises and prices fall, SpaceX revenue would fall too—after Chamath Palihapitiya suggested exit clauses let SpaceX reprice Anthropic. This page records that media account of Musk’s statement; it does not verify the underlying contract.

What we are checking

Musk said on X that the SpaceX–Anthropic compute contract binds both sides, rejecting the idea that SpaceX can unilaterally reprice.
