Why a SpaceX merger could reshape Musk’s business empire

[ed]

A merger involving SpaceX could bring together rockets, satellites, AI systems, social media, and energy infrastructure under a single corporate umbrella. One reported scenario would unite SpaceX and xAI, combining Starlink satellites, launch services, the X platform, and the Grok chatbot into one company.

Such a move aligns with Musk’s push to consolidate resources. SpaceX and Tesla have each invested $2 billion in xAI, and xAI acquired X last year in a deal valuing the AI firm at $80 billion. SpaceX itself was recently valued at around $800 billion in a secondary sale.

A SpaceX–Tesla merger could also tie Tesla’s energy storage business to Musk’s vision of space-based data centers. While timelines remain uncertain, recent actions suggest Musk is laying groundwork for deeper integration across his companies.
