"With the news of a merger between SpaceX and xAI being confirmed earlier this week by CEO Elon Musk directly, the first moves of an umbrella company that combines all of the serial tech entrepreneur's companies have been established. The move aims to combine SpaceX's prowess in launches with xAI's expanding vision in artificial intelligence, as Musk has detailed the need for space-based data centers that will require massive amounts of energy to operate."
"Dan Ives of Wedbush wrote in a note earlier this week that there is a "growing chance" Tesla could be merged in some form with the new conglomeration over the next 12 to 18 months. "In our view, there is a growing chance that Tesla will eventually be merged in some form into SpaceX/xAI over time. The viewis this growing AI ecosystem will focus on Space and Earth together... and Musk will look to combine forces," Ives said."
SpaceX has acquired xAI to combine orbital launch capabilities with advanced artificial intelligence, aiming to enable energy-intensive space-based data centers. The merger is part of long-standing plans to bring multiple companies under one umbrella as operational capabilities converge. The combined entity would leverage SpaceX's launch and Starlink infrastructure alongside xAI's models to accelerate real-world AI deployments and potentially support massive training or autonomy via orbital resources. Analysts anticipate Tesla may be merged into the conglomeration within 12 to 18 months, creating synergies across vehicles, robotics, satellites, and AI. The FCC has opened a comment period on an application for orbital data centers.
