  • Elon Musk Considers Merging SpaceX and xAI Ahead of Public Listing
    January 29, 2026, 4:01 PM EST. Billionaire Elon Musk is exploring a merger between SpaceX, his rocket company, and xAI, which controls the X social media platform and Grok AI chatbot. The consolidation aims to bolster Musk's vision of AI data centres in space, despite expert skepticism. The planned public offering could unite SpaceX's rockets, Starlink satellites, and AI-driven social media under one entity. This move follows regulatory scrutiny over Grok-generated harmful content on X. The merger would involve exchanging xAI shares for SpaceX shares, with two Nevada entities facilitating the deal, whose value and timing remain undisclosed. Musk leads multiple ventures including Tesla and Neuralink, the latter focusing on brain-computer interfaces.
