Elon Musk is doubling down on artificial intelligence – and this time, he’s launching it into orbit. SpaceX will invest $2 billion in Musk’s AI startup xAI, according to The Wall Street Journal, marking one of the aerospace giant’s biggest external investments ever. 💸
Why It Matters
This cash injection turbocharges xAI’s $5 billion funding round as it races to compete with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. Musk isn’t just building chatbots – he’s wiring Grok (his "smartest AI in the world") into SpaceX’s Starlink satellites and Tesla’s Optimus robots. 🤖✨
Musk’s Master Plan
Earlier this year, xAI merged with social platform X (formerly Twitter) to supercharge Grok’s reach. Now valued at $113 billion, the combined entity could soon see SpaceX’s rockets delivering AI-powered customer support via Starlink – and maybe even robot baristas on Mars? 🚀☕
With Musk promising more collabs between SpaceX and xAI, one thing’s clear: The future just got a major software update. 🔄
