Elon Musk highlighted a 20% annual growth in storage supply during a SpaceX earnings call but warned that demand could surge by 200% annually, pushing prices higher. The Fear & Greed Index remains skewed toward greed as investors track altcoins to watch in this tightening market. Memory storage is the primary bottleneck for AI expansion, with Musk citing economic principles to justify rising costs. Traders are closely monitoring altcoins to watch amid this imbalance.

Odaily Planet Daily report: During SpaceX’s earnings call this morning, analyst Doug Anmuth asked Elon Musk: “How do you view the supply and demand dynamics in the future computing power market? Is the current high pricing power in this business sustainable?”

Elon Musk responded: “The biggest bottleneck for AI scaling right now is still memory. Memory production is currently growing by about 20% per year—an astonishing rate for any mature industry. But the question is: Is demand also growing at 20%? No! I believe demand is growing at roughly 200% per year, possibly even higher. If demand grows far faster than supply, then according to the most basic principles of economics, prices should rise, not fall.”
