"SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world's foremost real-time information and free speech platform,"
"This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!"
"With this merger, he plans to use SpaceX's deep expertise in rapid launch and satellite manufacturing and management to deploy a constellation of up to 1 million orbital data centers."
"This new constellation will build upon the well-established space sustainability design and operational strategies, including end-of-life disposal, that have proven successful for SpaceX's existing broadband satellite systems,"
SpaceX acquired xAI to create a vertically integrated innovation engine combining AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile communications, and a real-time information and free-speech platform. Elon Musk plans to leverage SpaceX launch and satellite manufacturing expertise to deploy a constellation of up to one million orbital data centers to provide the computing backbone for xAI operations. The planned constellation will use established space sustainability designs and end-of-life disposal practices proven in SpaceX's broadband satellites. Musk frames artificial intelligence as central to humanity's future and aims to position these integrated assets at the forefront of AI development. The merger carries substantial strategic and technical risk.
