Dig deeper into Musk’s big picture goals, and the merger starts to make a lot more sense — even if there’s a decidedly sci-fi twist.

SpaceX's Starship rocket, due to launch in 2026 from Florida, is key to deploying satellites for orbital data centers needed for Musk's AI goals.

The merging of all of Elon Musk's "X" companies has now created a single entity with a valuation of $1.25 trillion. SpaceX has reportedly been planning to hold an initial public offering (IPO) later this year.

Musk’s merger of SpaceX and xAI turns a future IPO into a bet on space-based data centers and a $1.25 trillion vision for AI compute beyond the planet. Elon Musk is merging his rocket maker SpaceX with his artificial intelligence startup xAI in a deal that changes what a future SpaceX IPO represents.

Musk wrote that the merger of SpaceX and xAI will ‘form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth.’

Reports are suggesting there is a "growing chance" Elon Muck may merge Tesla with SpaceX. It would be an effort to dominate industries like AI, robotics, and energy.

The list of broken promises Musk has made about fantastical technological achievements leaves a lot of room for doubt.

Prediction markets have become a way to bet on everything from politics to markets to how many times Tesla CEO Elon Musk will tweet over a given period. Investors can bet on a Tesla-SpaceX merger, too.
