Billionaire Elon Musk said SpaceX is acquiring xAI to build data centres in space, calling it a way to escape Earth’s limitations and overcome infrastructure constraints that restrict the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.
This marks the second major merger involving Elon Musk’s companies in under a year. In March last year, he merged xAI with social media platform X, valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, close to what he paid for Twitter in 2022, excluding debt.
