"The deal would bring together two of Musk's biggest speculative projects, and combine his space exploration plans with his AI development ambitions, forming a trillion-dollar business entity that would then be able to more easily share resources across his futuristic concepts. Musk hasn't confirmed the plan as yet, but has tentatively indicated that talks are happening, which would immediately solidify X, as it continues to slowly re-establish its ad business."
"According to Bloomberg, the main catalyst for the proposed merger would be xAI's demand for capital, with Musk's AI project burning through around $1 billion per month at present. The need to keep expanding its data processing capacity, in order to drive better, more responsive AI tools, has left Musk looking to alternative intake sources, in order to take on OpenAI, Meta and Google in the expanding AI race."
Elon Musk is exploring a potential merger between SpaceX and xAI, uniting his reusable rocket company with his AI venture and X the app. The merger aims to combine space exploration capabilities with AI development to form a trillion-dollar business able to share capital, infrastructure, and data resources. xAI is burning roughly $1 billion per month and needs expanded data processing capacity to compete with OpenAI, Meta, and Google. The combined entity could pursue space-based data centers, supported by SpaceX’s request for up to one million satellites, and could accelerate Starship development and X’s business stability.
