This wouldn’t be the first time or even the second that Elon Musk companies combined. Tesla bought out SolarCity and last year X merged with xAI.
The combination of the companies though is interesting. SpaceX relies on a lot of automation while xAI wants to build orbiting data centers to save electricity and cooling costs. In a way I can see them fit together however given the huge raise xAI just did I’m not sold on the idea it would actually go through before the IPO.
It would make one of if not the largest IPOs even more interesting though
