On Monday, Elon Musk announced that he was merging two of his companies, SpaceX and xAI, in a deal said to be worth $1.25 trillion. The reason, Musk said in an announcement, was that in order for AI to grow, it needed to go to space. AI relies on “large terrestrial data centers” that run […]
A raid on X’s Paris office was carried out by the Paris prosecutor’s cybercrime unit on Tuesday with Europol and French police as part of an ongoing investigation that expanded in July to include Grok. As previously reported by Reuters, Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino were also summoned for hearings in April. […]
The merger creates the world’s most valuable private company, and paves the way for Musk to try and prove out the usefulness of space-based data centers.

Data suggests that’s on the rise, heightening concerns about accuracy and misinformation as Musk seeks to reshape […]
This merger would bring the Grok chatbot, Starlink satellites, and SpaceX rockets together under one corporation.
SpaceX and xAI, which are both led by Elon Musk, are “in discussions to merge” ahead of SpaceX’s IPO that’s planned for later this year, Reuters reports. The merger would help with SpaceX’s plans to launch data centers into space, according to the publication. The specific timing and value of the potential merger are unclear. […]
