On February 2, 2026, SpaceX completed the acquisition of xAI in an all-stock transaction valued at $250 billion, marking the largest merger in history. Following this merger, xAI ceased to exist as a standalone entity and is now part of SpaceXAI, which includes Grok, Colossus, and X.
This merger is significant as it combines SpaceX's profitable segments with xAI's AI capabilities, creating a powerful entity valued at $1.25 trillion. The integration aims to leverage SpaceX's resources to enhance xAI's profitability and provide a public liquidity path for former xAI investors through SpaceX's IPO.
Looking ahead, the focus will be on how the combined entity will develop its AI infrastructure capabilities, particularly through the Starmind orbital compute project. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
