#SpaceX acquires #xAI, plans to launch a massive #SatelliteConstellation to power it

“This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission.”

Eric Berger – Feb 2, 2026

"SpaceX has formally acquired another one of Elon Musk’s companies, xAi, the space company announced on Monday afternoon.

“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,' the company said. '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!' [How much Special-K did you take, dude?]

"The merging of what is arguably Musk’s most successful company, SpaceX, with the more speculative xAI venture is a risk. Founded in 2023, xAI’s main products are the generative AI chatbot Grok and the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter. The company aims to compete with OpenAI and other artificial intelligence firms. However, Grok has been controversial, including the sexualization of women and children through AI-generated images, as has Musk’s management of Twitter."

I won't be alive when the inevitable Kessler Syndrome happens. Though the tech bros are really doing their damnedest to make it happen soon....

If this message is found in the future

"Called it!"

@wifwolf Oh geesh. Are you knocking on Death's door? If so, that sucks. TBH, I think Kessler is going to happen sooner than later.

@DoomsdaysCW

I'm not on death's door, but I am next on the fascists hit list, and being poor in 'Murica means I probably have 15-20yrs left on the clock.

I think we're going to hit Kessler in 30-40, with a sharply increasing chance every 5yrs after if it hasn't happened by then.

This is also barring that incompetent frog mouthed dipshit having one of his X-whatever projects detonating while in orbit

@wifwolf And yeah. I think a lot of us are on the GD hit-list. I've been on the FBI's radar since the 1980s.

@wifwolf That's what happens when you chum around with AIM and Earth First. No regrets tho.
