SpaceX übernimmt das KI-Startup xAI vor einem möglichen Börsengang

More money games by Musk trying to shield his money. He’s already transferred ownership twitter to it, now he’s trying to move it to space-x.

Elon Musk doing a little shuffle with his toys!

… or an XYZ-Summon, if you play YuGiOh. x)

Musk wants to say he is a trillionaire so he is trying to boost the valuation of SpaceX for the IPO so he can say he is a trillionaire. And the world is willingly giving it to him. Fucking disgusting.

How long till “Spacex buys 1 million robots from Tesla”

Circlejerk of shit wrapped in a turd

Company owned by Elon Musk acquires another company owned by Elon Musk?

My tinfoil hat theory is still that he is actually broke and he just keeps moving all the stuff around trying to hide it

Edit: typo

The idea that we are going to put AI data centers in space is ludicrous.

– Cooling in orbit is radiative only, so you need massive radiator surfaces.
– Radiation destroys hardware and causes constant bit flips.
– Power requires football field scale solar arrays plus storage for eclipse periods.
– Defense matters too since anything in a predictable orbit is trivially targetable.
– Maintenance still requires humans and chips have to be replaced every few years.

To solve all that you are talking about a project bigger than the ISS, probably by an order of magnitude, assembled over many launches, with zero on site maintenance. That is not a problem that can be solved by a 20 billion dollar a year rocket company.

Spacex is impressive, but what are the actual innovations they’ve created? Cost, cadence, and efficiency in lower earth orbit. It stands on decades of NASA and Cold War era aerospace work. Nothing they have done suggests a leap to orbital hyperscale compute.

And economically, it makes no sense.

We have vast land, cheap renewables, nuclear options, cooling, fiber and human serviceability on Earth.

Wyoming or Alaska beats orbit every time. Even Antarctica would be easier, at least cooling would be solved.

This feels less like engineering and more like narrative inflation timed for an IPO that he wants to hit a trillion dollar valuation on. Big, futuristic, unfalsifiable, yet convenient.

Please, will somebody smarter than me explain how this isn’t pure hype?

Edit: Also worth remembering the pattern here. A decade ago it was Mars and city scale underground tunnels.

Then full self driving was promised every year starting in 2016 and we are still waiting.

Now Tesla wants out of the cars business entirely and pivoting to humanoid robots, despite the fact that the AI required to make general purpose humanoid robots useful doesn’t even exist in the research phase outside of tightly scripted demos.

This is what Musk does every time. When scrutiny increases or timelines slip, the narrative jumps to something bigger, further out and harder to falsify.

AI in space, humanoid robots, orbital compute… the story keeps changing but the capital raise never stops.

You can admire SpaceX real achievements while still recognizing that a lot of this is hype cycling timed for investors, not credible engineering roadmaps.

Being skeptical here is not anti-innovation, it is basic pattern recognition, and it smells like a bunch of bullshit to me.

Edit 2: [This guy](https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/) has the credentials and comes to many of the same conclusions, so I’m not a cynical hater.

Look over here, for no reason at all. Girls FTW!

xAI must be low on cash.

Pulling my ETFs before they are required to hold this pile of shit.

Ugh. Now the LLM/AI implosion has the opportunity to take down SpaceX too.

I hope any bailout is actually a buyout. If space infrastructure is important enough, it should be nationalized and this may be a chance. Just hope it bankrupts the Nazi-in-chief.

The self dealing is insane.

So is a Corolla. Toyota still makes it because they are a successful car company instead of a meme stock bailing itself out with a bunch of funny money. It’s the same thing he did with SolarCity.

If that doesn’t look like a market bubble to you, you don’t know what they look like.

The next administration is going to shred him to pieces for his criminal incompetence in DOGE, then the bubble collapses, because you’re not buying a company, you’re just saying „I think Elon Musk is a super smart guy.“ Which is a fair position, SpaceX is by far the most impressive of his companies, but complete idiocy in other matters (the Vegas worse-than-a-subway, begging to go to Epstein Island, being a deadbeat dad to six families) makes it pretty clear he isn’t some Isaac Newton in secret.

He pays people to play video games for him to pretend he has high scores.

Then he goes to work & does the same thing.
