xAI Joins SpaceX
February 3, 2026
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! The exact financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition cements SpaceX’s standing as the most valuable private company in the world, and creates a company worth more than $1 trillion.
