Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which collectively engage 3.5 billion users daily, is considering renting out excess computing capacity to other AI developers. This strategy mirrors recent moves by SpaceX, which has reportedly secured billions in monthly revenue from similar arrangements.
