What is Project Quadrillion?

A speculative research desk for a machine economy built from five companies: SpaceX, xAI, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. It tracks twenty expansion vectors and a scenario feed dated October 2026.

Is the quadrillion-dollar figure a forecast?

No. The $4+ quadrillion line is the long-run thesis name, not a price target. The 2026–2035 slider is a labeled model that ends in the tens of trillions.

How is the Kardashev number calculated?

K = (log10(watts) − 6) / 10. Type I is 10^16 watts. This desk holds civilization near 19 terawatts and adds only the scenario’s beamed power and orbital compute.

Who is counted on the page?

A random id stored in this tab, refreshed every 20 seconds, dropped after 45 seconds of silence. No name, account, or address is stored.

Is this investment advice?

No. Figures are a research fiction. Nothing here is an offer, a solicitation, or a quote.

Project Quadrillion

Compound velocity

Drag 2026 to 2035. Valuation uses 2.1 × 1.22^(year−2026). Launches, Terafab, and orbital count compound faster than the multiple. The quadrillion case sits past this window.

03 · Foundation

Original five pillars

The Muskonomy core. Everything else on the tape hangs on these five. Selecting one clears a theme preset and filters the vector grid to that company.

04 · Compounding

How the engine compounds

Five stages, in order. Pick one to lock the vector grid to that stage. Pick it again to release. A theme preset is cleared so the stage is not hidden.

No stage locked. In 2026 the tape models $2.10T, 12 launches, and a Terafab index of 1.0×.

05 · Expansion

Twenty expansion vectors

Beyond the five pillars. Orbital compute, solar beaming, V3 sats, Terafab, Optimus lunar, Neuralink VOICE and CONVOY, Grok agents, the Loop mesh, and interplanetary rails.

Model assumptions

Valuation: 2.1 × 1.22^(year − 2026), in trillions. 2026 is the day-one cap in this tape.
Launches and nodes: Launches/year = 12 × 1.45^t. Orbital nodes = 26 × 1.55^t. Each launch is modeled at 60 Tbps.
Energy: Beamed power starts at 0.25 GW and compounds at 1.7^t. It does not move the Kardashev exponent in this window.
