xAI merged into SpaceX
Elon Musk folds his AI company xAI into his space exploration firm SpaceX, integrating Grok's development with a major defense contractor.
The Pentagon disclosed that Elon Musk’s Grok AI directed a blistering 2,000+ munitions at Iranian targets in just 96 hours, marking a watershed for AI in kill-chain operations. The revelation underscores how commercial AI is being embedded into offensive space and missile systems, raising strategic, legal, and ethical alarm bells.
The U.S. government’s admission that Grok powered a massive strike package against Iran merges SpaceX’s space dominance with AI-enabled offensive operations. The fusion of xAI and SpaceX under Elon Musk creates a dual-use juggernaut that may redefine how space assets support kinetic warfare.
