SpaceXAI Announces Name Change Following Merger with SpaceX

The merged entity plans to deploy AI compute satellites as space data centers starting 2028, aiming to expand AI infrastructure

The AI company xAI, led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has changed its name to SpaceXAI.

xAI announced the name change on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on the 6th (local time), stating, "We are now SpaceXAI."

Musk's space company SpaceX, which recently entered Nasdaq through the largest-ever initial public offering (IPO), merged with xAI in February to integrate its space, AI, and social media businesses. The company plans to integrate AI into its space business in the long term, aiming to expand its AI infrastructure business, including space data centers.

Although xAI is currently running losses, SpaceX has assessed that the AI business has significant growth potential. The company stated, "We plan to deploy AI compute satellites serving as space data centers starting in 2028."
