Elon Musk’s xAI Officially Rebrands as SpaceXAI

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has officially changed its name to SpaceXAI, five months after SpaceX acquired the business.

SpaceXAI announced the change through a post on X and also introduced a new logo. The company’s account on the social network now carries the SpaceXAI name. However, SpaceX continues to operate a separate account covering its rockets, spacecraft, and launches.

Merger Completed

Musk first disclosed the SpaceXAI name in May, when he said xAI would no longer operate as a separate company and would instead become SpaceX’s artificial intelligence business.

SpaceX officially acquired xAI in February 2026. The company’s public offering documents describe xAI as the foundation of SpaceX’s AI division and part of a broader plan to combine artificial intelligence with its space and connectivity businesses.

The xAI website has already been updated with the SpaceXAI name and logo. However, according to Stocktwits, the new branding has not yet appeared in official corporate filings.

Orbital Data Centers

SpaceXAI plans to develop data centers in space as demand for the electricity required to operate AI infrastructure continues to rise.

When SpaceX acquired xAI, Musk argued that terrestrial infrastructure would not be able to meet global AI electricity demand. He described moving power-intensive data-center operations into space as the logical solution.

SpaceX had already filed an application with the US Federal Communications Commission before announcing the acquisition. The filing seeks permission to launch and operate up to one million satellites as part of an orbital data-center system.

The proposed satellites would operate at altitudes ranging from 500 kilometres to 2,000 kilometres and communicate through high-bandwidth optical links.

X Also Comes Under SpaceXAI

The combined business also includes a social media platform, X.

xAI acquired X in 2025, meaning the platform became part of SpaceX when it purchased xAI. It now sits under the wider SpaceXAI structure alongside Grok and the company’s other AI products.

Public Market Debut

SpaceX, including its acquired xAI and X businesses, went public in June 2026.

The company’s shares closed their first trading day at $160.95, or approximately $161, giving SpaceX a market value of around $2.1 trillion, according to f.

The SpaceXAI rebrand formally brings Musk’s space, artificial intelligence, and social media operations under one corporate identity, although SpaceX will continue to use its established name for its space-related activities.
