Pretty much every ship uses piped-in seawater for cooling, especially the condensers in steam engines. We have 100+ years of design and operational experience in pumping seawater.

sure but i’m sure if they had a choice to use fresh water they would do due to the maintenance issues

The NSA data center near me uses over 100 million gallons of fresh water a year for evaporative cooling. 
Operating data centers in a water-poor desert state normally requires careful engineering for sustainability. The NSA just pays a premium for the city of Bluffdale to supply water equivalent to that used by ten percent of its population.

Is he that stupid that he doesn't realise what a problem this is? He hasn't even heard of model collapse?
Wonder if something like that is the reason they are having to start again from scratch with their AI?

SpaceX colluding with NASDAQ to make a gigantic and fraudulent IPO.
NASDAQ has changed the rules for newcomers with massive volumes to let them join the Index after only 15 days and with lower requirements.
Musk insisted on this before going public.
This means that pension and index funds will automatically buy SpaceX stock without any due diligence.

More grifting.

And uglier than an AMC Gremlin.
Indeed he might, but what has the two things got to do with one another?

This is true, but it is a solved problem. Pretty much any boat or ship with an internal combustion engine uses a heat exchanger to keep the seawater out of the expensive to fix bits..
