Colossus Lease: 180 Days per Musk or Payments Until May 2029 per S‑1?

Colleagues, a dispute has arisen over the lease term for the Colossus compute cluster.

Briefly:
- Elon Musk stated on X that SpaceX has a 180‑day lease with mutual 90‑day termination; the short term was requested by SpaceX.
- The S‑1 indicates the customer committed to monthly payments through May 2029, implying a multi‑year obligation.
- The S‑1 wording recurs across several pages; the parties have not publicly reconciled the discrepancy.

Why it matters: such inconsistencies can create regulatory and reputational risk and affect access to compute resources.

How do you assess the risks of such public discrepancies?
