SpaceX and xAI Could Potentially Join Forces as One Entity

SpaceX and xAI, both spearheaded by Elon Musk, are reportedly in talks to merge ahead of SpaceX’s anticipated IPO later this year. This merger could bolster SpaceX’s ambitions to establish data centers in space.

Details regarding the timing and valuation of the potential merger remain uncertain. SpaceX is eyeing a mid-June IPO, as noted by recent reports. Neither xAI nor SpaceX has responded to inquiries for comments.

If the merger proceeds, it would align SpaceX with Grok, which is currently facing scrutiny and an investigation in the EU over issues related to sexualized deepfakes.

Should this deal materialize, it would mark another significant move among Musk’s ventures. Tesla, also under Musk’s leadership, recently announced plans for an investment of around $2 billion in xAI, which had previously acquired X last year.
