#3Well surely this acquisition is above board. Nothing funny going on here, just good old business as usual.
Re: xAI joins SpaceX
#4Any details regarding valuations etc?
Re: xAI joins SpaceX
#5> SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform. This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!
I think Elon's taken one too many puffs of hopium
Re: xAI joins SpaceX
#6> Current advances in AI are dependent on large terrestrial data centers, which require immense amounts of power and cooling.
You know what's even harder to cool?
> Orbital Data Centers

Re: xAI joins SpaceX
#8I thought this wasn't viable due to cooling requirements - how do you cool massive amounts of compute when the only option is to radiate it into space - nothing to convect it with?
Also, the incredible amount of grift here with the left hand paying the right is scarcely believable. Same story as Tesla buying Solarcity. Board of directors should be ashamed IMO.
Re: xAI joins SpaceX
#9Seems like a great way to play games with moving money around. Come up with a "valuation" and then "acquire".

#10> By directly harnessing near-constant solar power with little operating or maintenance costs, these satellites will transform our ability to scale compute. It’s always sunny in space! Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization, one that can harness the Sun’s full power, while supporting AI-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity’s multi-planetary future.
Apparently optimus robots don't work and he needs to start his final grift, space datacenters, while his datacenters on earth are powered by gas turbines.
Most likely he's just trying to bury his epstein involvement where was exposed lying by his own daughter.
