Musk has missed several of his own predictions for when his company would take humans to Mars.
Elon Musk is merging his SpaceX rocket company with his artificial intelligence startup xAI. The deal is valued at $1.25 trillion.
The rocket company ran a Super Bowl ad for Starlink, the first time any of Elon Musk's companies have run an ad at the showpiece event.
Elon Musk's AI company xAI, which includes Elon Musk's social media platform X, has just been acquired by Elon Musk's space company SpaceX.
According to The New York Times, which reports that it heard the meeting, Musk told employees that xAI needs a lunar manufacturing facility, a factory on the moon that will build AI satellites and fling them into space via a giant catapult.
Employees initially thought they were protected under one government agency. Turns out, they aren’t.
The National Labor Relations Board, having accused the company of unfair retaliation in 2024, now says it has no jurisdiction over Elon Musk’s space company.
