SpaceX + xAI: Birth of a $1.25T Titan

On February 3, 2026, the merger of SpaceX and xAI was completed. The valuation of the combined company reached ~$1.25 trillion. The deal officially cements Elon Musk's strategy: creating autonomous orbital infrastructure for AI.

The merger logic is simple: xAI needs computing power and energy, SpaceX provides access to solar energy in orbit and the global Starlink network. This is a new type of vertical integration where "hardware" is in space, and intelligence controls it from Earth and Mars.
