Elon Musk Merges SpaceX With His A.I. Start-Up xAI The deal further intermingles Mr. Musk’s companies and creates the most valuable private company on earth. ............ The deal creates the most valuable private company in the world, worth more than $1 trillion, with a portfolio that includes rockets, xAI’s Grok chatbot, and the social media platform, X. ............ “SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with A.I., rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform,” Mr. Musk wrote in a memo addressed to some of his employees that was obtained by The New York Times. The billionaire cited the need to build data centers in space as one of the main drivers for the transaction. ................ His private companies include SpaceX; the Boring Company, a tunneling start-up; and Neuralink, a brain interface company. Mr. Musk often moves resources and employees among his companies, defying traditional business norms and operating his various companies as one big Musk enterprise. ................. “Ultimately, it’s likely there will be one Musk Inc. at the end,” said Peter Diamandis, the founder of the XPrize Foundation, a nonprofit focused on fostering technological development. Mr. Diamandis, who is also an investor in SpaceX and xAI, said he always believed Mr. Musk’s vision was to merge his companies together. ................ “My estimate is that within 2 to 3 years, the lowest cost way to generate A.I. compute will be in space,” Mr. Musk wrote in his memo to SpaceX and xAI employees. “This cost-efficiency alone will enable innovative companies to forge ahead in training their A.I. models and processing data at unprecedented speeds and scales, accelerating breakthroughs in our understanding of physics and invention of technologies that benefit humanity.” ............

it has plans to launch an “orbital data center system” that could consist of as many as a million satellites

................ “X was out of money. Merged with xAI. xAI out of money merge with SpaceX. SpaceX out of money. Merge with …. Tesla,” Mr. Gerber posted on Monday morning before the merger was announced.
