SpaceX to invest $2 billion into xAI - WSJ.
- The post reveals SpaceX's $2 billion investment in xAI, a move that follows xAI's merger with X Corp, valuing the combined entity at $113 billion, and leverages xAI’s Grok chatbot for SpaceX’s Starlink support, signaling a strategic integration of AI across Musk’s ventures.
- This investment aligns with xAI’s rapid growth, including the operational launch of the Colossus supercomputer in Memphis by December 2024, which consumes 150 megawatts of power, and the release of Grok-4 in July 2025, breaking AI performance records, as reported by industry analyses.
- Despite SpaceX receiving approximately $2.5 billion in government contracts for ISS missions (per NASA data), this investment highlights a shift toward private funding for AI innovation, challenging narratives of over-reliance on public subsidies.
