SpaceX has acquired xAI for 250 billion dollars, the largest M&A deal ever, valuing the combined entity at 1.25 trillion dollars. The merger targets orbital data centers to bypass Earth's energy limits for AI compute. By unifying Grok AI with Starship, Musk is building a vertically integrated engine for off-world intelligence. This secures a dominant lead in orbital compute ahead of a projected 1.5 trillion dollar IPO. πŸš€πŸ›°οΈπŸ€–
