In an internal memo shared on SpaceX's official website, Musk declared that the merger between SpaceX and xAI is pivotal for establishing the "most audacious, vertically integrated innovation engine." He clarified that this move transcends merely advancing the existing missions of SpaceX and xAI; instead, it marks the dawn of a new era. By scaling up operations, the combined entity aims to create an intelligent "sun" capable of exploring the cosmos and extending human consciousness to the stars. Musk underscored the urgency of the merger, noting that the escalating global power demands of artificial intelligence cannot be adequately met through terrestrial solutions alone. He stressed that Silicon Valley must venture into space to establish data centers, thereby fueling the growth of AI technologies. "In the long term," Musk wrote, "space-based AI represents the sole viable path to achieving scalability. Hence, the most logical approach is to relocate these resource-intensive operations to regions abundant in energy and space—namely, outer space."
