Are you counting the emissions to get the datacenters into space?

That's an environmental and financial cost, but it's a one time cost. For datacenters on Earth, the emissions are continuous.
Are there going to be self sustaining server factories in space? The hw needs updating every few years.
How do we bootstrap to the point where we eventually have factories in space?

If it were up to me, I would be researching and optimizing non-chemical propulsion, also green synthetic fuels for launches. Unfortunately, we will have to leave that for some firm other than SpaceX to develop.
