🚨BREAKING: SpaceX officially announced it has acquired xAI Elon Musk statement via SpaceX: SpaceX has acquired xAI to create a vertically integrated engine across AI, rockets, Starlink, direct to mobile satellites, and real time global information. AI data centers on Earth require extreme power and cooling. Musk says this cannot scale without harming communities and the environment. His solution is space based AI powered directly by constant solar energy. SpaceX plans to launch a constellation of orbital data centers using Starship. Each launch could carry 200 tons. Launches every hour could put millions of tons into orbit per year. The math: 1 million tons of satellites generating 100 kW per ton adds 100 GW of AI compute per year. Musk says there is a path to 1 terawatt per year from orbit. Within 2 to 3 years, Musk believes the cheapest place to run AI compute will be in space. This expansion funds Moon bases, Mars cities, and pushes humanity toward a Kardashev Type II civilization. Ad Astra.
