Hello
How can I connect 10000 servo motors from a single Arduino Uno chip? Please advise.
Thanks!
What makes you think this is an installation or troubleshooting issue?
(Do you have a 10000A 5V power supply?)
The OP (@deicool) can order for a 50 kW Diesel Generator.
My problem is not the power supply. Will a single Arduino Uno support?
Sure, with help of a ton of I/O expanders.
Do you know how may IO lines are required to inject control signal into a SG-90 type Servo? If not, search google to find the answer and then decide if a single UNO (Fig-1 for IO lines of UNO) can support 10000 Servos or not.
Figure-1:
It depends on what you want to do.
You forgot to tell us.
Not yet.

Can't get a good answer from Google!
Type SG90 in the search box and then press enter key and then click on images to get the following:
Let's daydream a bit.
Multiple servos are usually done with 16-channel Adafruit PCA9685 boards,
and you can connect about 60 boards to the same I2C bus. That's almost 1000 servos.
One or two TC9548A multiplexers could make 8 or 16 of those I2C buses, for 10000+ servos.
That's the theory.
Making such a setup is a totally different story.
Industrial power, huge budget, kilometers of wiring, years of work, replacing 100 broken servos a day, and much more. I once spend about three months building and coding 48 x 28BYJ-48 steppers driven by a single Nano. Never again.
