Overview

  • Elon Musk, replying on X on Thursday, said xAI will be dissolved and its work will continue inside SpaceX under the name SpaceXAI.
  • His post followed discussion of a SpaceX partnership with Anthropic for compute, with reporting that Anthropic is leasing SpaceX’s Colossus 1 supercomputer.
  • There is no mention of SpaceXAI on SpaceX’s website, indicating branding and legal details are still in flux.
  • Grok, xAI’s chatbot built to rival services like ChatGPT, would move under SpaceX, though the company has not detailed product changes or staffing plans.
  • xAI launched in 2023 with a “pro‑humanity” mission and saw heavy turnover by April, with reports that 11 of 12 co‑founders had left, leaving Musk as the only remaining founder.
