Tesla and SpaceX each aim to generate 100 gigawatts of solar per year. | Elon said that both SpaceX and Tesla uh have an objective of generating how much solar was it? 100 megawws per year each I think was from last week. G was it gigawatts? 100 g gawatts gigawatts.

Watch events: SpaceX IPO roadshow (Jun 2026); Starship V3 orbital test; Starlink V3 launch cadence
