SpaceX has officially acquired xAI in a historic stock-for-stock merger, valuing the combined company at a staggering 1.25 trillion dollars. This merger aims to pioneer orbital data centers, utilizing the Starship launch system to deploy up to 1 million solar-powered satellites. By moving compute off-planet, the entity bypasses terrestrial energy and land constraints, targeting 100 gigawatts of annual AI capacity. This vertical integration positions space-based compute as the most cost-efficient infrastructure within the next 3 years. 🚀🌌
