SpaceX and xAI in Merger Talks Ahead of IPO

![]() SpaceX and xAI in Merger Talks Ahead of IPOSpaceX is a pioneering aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company dedicated to revolutionizing space technology and making life multi-planetary. Through its deployment of the world's largest orbital fleet, SpaceX provides high-speed, low-latency internet to the most remote corners of the globe, leveraging its unique launch capabilities to foster a future of universal connectivity and sustained human presence beyond Earth. SpaceX is reportedly in discussions to merge with xAI ahead of an anticipated IPO scheduled for later this year. The strategic combination would consolidate Elon Musk's aerospace achievements—including Starship rockets and the Starlink satellite constellation—with xAI and its Grok AI chatbot, potentially paving the way for AI infrastructure in space. SpaceX, headquartered in Hawthorne, California, United States, was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk. In 2012, the company joined the unicorn club. By integrating SpaceX and xAI, the new conglomerate aims to pioneer "orbital data centers," leveraging SpaceX's launch capabilities to host AI infrastructure in space, thereby bypassing terrestrial constraints and optimizing global latency. |
