The AMW Read
The acquisition of xAI by SpaceX to build orbital compute infrastructure fundamentally shifts the scaling debate (cross.§B) by proposing a non-terrestrial solution to energy and compute constraints (cross.§A).

SpaceX has officially acquired xAI, merging orbital infrastructure with AI to bypass Earth's energy constraints. This integration pairs Starship's launch capacity with an FCC filing for 1 million satellites to achieve 1TW of space-based compute. By moving scaling to orbit, the $113 billion entity aims to sustain AGI growth using 24/7 solar power. This establishes space as the primary compute layer for the next decade. 🚀🛰️🤖
