Elon Musk has essentially confirmed SpaceX is going public this year and will use the funds to build solar powered AI satellites, scaling to 100s of terawatts in 3 years

No, probable case (~50th percentile guess) is reaching an annualized rate of 100GW/year of space AI satellites launched from Earth in 3 to 4 years.
100TW/year requires manufacturing satellites on the Moon at massive scale that are shot into deep space with a mass driver, which is 10+ years away.
Worth noting that average US electricity consumption is only 0.5TW, so that would mean launching 200 times the current electricity output of Earth.
