Elon Musk just confirmed that SpaceX slashed Grok Bot usage limits because running the agentic AI has become unsustainably expensive relative to revenue. The sudden squeeze maxed out weekly caps for users over the weekend, proving that even a profitable AI division can get crushed by runaway compute bills. Future subscription limits remain unannounced.
xAI just released Grok Voice 3.0, taking the #1 spot on Artificial Analysis's Speech-to-Speech Index with an 86.9 score. The model hits sub-one-second latency, undercuts competitors on task costs, and already resolves roughly 70% of Starlink's 20,000 daily support calls without a human. It's a clear signal that voice agents are graduating from novelty to high-volume enterprise infrastructure.
SpaceX's Grok Bot is ditching the single-model setup to route every task to the best AI available. Elon Musk announced the bot will dynamically call external APIs, using Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 for text, Midjourney for images, and Suno for music generation to deliver the highest quality results.
President Trump just signed an executive order requiring all US executive branch agencies to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "Super Intelligence" across official websites, documents, and press releases. Flanked by Jensen Huang and Elon Musk, Trump declared "super" is the best word while calling "artificial" akin to "fake news." Past regulations won't change, but officials are now expected to drop "AI" entirely.
Google just revealed its Project Suncatcher moonshot is launching a prototype satellite aboard a SpaceX rocket to test how Trillium TPUs handle space. Ground tests show the chips survive radiation exceeding a five-year mission, with laser-linked clusters planned for 2027. Why it matters: Low Earth orbit gets up to 8x more solar energy, making space data centers a wild but serious bet against earthbound power limits.
OpenAI just announced it will wind down its model contract with developer tool Cursor on November 12, 2026, following Cursor's acquisition by SpaceX. OpenAI cited Elon Musk's track record of breaching terms with Twitter and xAI, adding that Cursor will also not get access to its upcoming model, Astra. It's a massive escalation in the OpenAI-Musk rivalry that directly hits developers.
SpaceX just officially closed its acquisition of Cursor AI, bringing the popular AI coding editor into its fold. The Cursor team is joining the SpaceX AI division to continue building Cursor while strengthening the broader Grok ecosystem, including Grok Build, Grok Bot, and the Grok API.
SpaceX just unveiled STARMIND, an orbital AI compute satellite design featuring a 75-meter wingspan and up to 250 kW peak compute power. By tapping continuous solar energy in sun-synchronous orbit and radiating heat into deep space, the project aims to bypass terrestrial grid and cooling limits, targeting mass deployment via Starship as early as late 2027.
Sam Altman just called out Elon Musk for pitching "short-term space datacenters" to investors, and experts agree with him. Space startups and Google's orbital compute team note that orbital AI processing won't scale without cheap, truly reusable rockets and low-cost satellites. While SpaceX plans early flights next year, true commercial scale remains a story for the 2030s.
Elon Musk just revealed that Grok 4.5 is now in private beta across SpaceX and Tesla. The 1.5 trillion parameter model incorporates Cursor data during training, with early evals reportedly rivaling or beating Claude Opus. Musk also claims SpaceX will roll out scratch-trained models every month this year.
SpaceX just exercised its option to acquire AI coding assistant Cursor in an all-stock transaction. The two companies have spent the past few months jointly training a model that will roll out to Cursor and Grok Build soon, tapping SpaceX's Colossus supercomputer to supercharge their AI ambitions.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX went public, with shares of SPCX opening at $150. Beyond personal wealth, SpaceX's S-1 filing outlines an ambitious plan for "orbital AI compute," launching AI data center servers into space via reusable rockets.
SpaceX just pulled off the largest IPO in history, raising $75B at a $1.77T valuation after selling 555.6M shares at $135 apiece. The massive raise blows past Saudi Aramco’s 2019 record and makes Elon Musk the world’s first paper trillionaire. Investors backed the money-losing giant on high hopes for Starlink, orbital data centers, and Mars.
SpaceX just unveiled AI1, an orbital data center satellite built to run AI silicon directly in space using solar power. Each craft packs up to 150 kW of compute payload—matching a top-tier Nvidia server rack—with interchangeable chips and a wingspan wider than a Boeing 747. Why it matters: With Google and Anthropic already signed on as customers, space-based compute is quickly shifting from a sci-fi punchline into a real workaround for Earth's strained power grids.
SpaceX just filed its S-1 prospectus with the SEC to list on Nasdaq under ticker SPCX, revealing massive ambitions beyond rockets. The filing details its merger with xAI, plans to launch one million data center satellites for orbital AI compute, and a deal where Anthropic pays $1.25 billion per month for compute. Musk is framing space-based AI as a multitrillion-dollar opportunity.
OpenAI is reportedly preparing to confidentially file IPO paperwork with the SEC as early as May 22, teaming up with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Valued at over $850 billion in private markets, the AI pioneer could go public as soon as Q4. If completed, it will be one of the biggest listings in tech history.
Google is reportedly in talks with SpaceX to launch AI data centers into orbit, as Elon Musk pitches space as the cheapest home for compute ahead of a mega-IPO. While orbital servers dodge local backlash and land constraints on Earth, sky-high launch and satellite build costs mean ground facilities still win on price by a mile.
Anthropic just struck a deal with SpaceX to take over all capacity at the Colossus 1 data center, securing over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs. The massive compute boost allows Anthropic to instantly double Claude Code's rate limits for paid plans, eliminate peak-hour restrictions, and raise Claude Opus API caps, while also exploring future orbital AI compute.
SpaceX just confirmed an unusual deal with AI coding platform Cursor, securing the option to acquire the startup later this year for $60 billion or pay a $10 billion fee for their joint work. The partnership pairs Cursor's software with SpaceX's massive Colossus supercomputer to build coding and knowledge work models as competition heats up against Anthropic and OpenAI.
Intel just partnered with Elon Musk's Terafab project to manufacture advanced AI chips for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. The ambitious initiative plans two specialized fabrication facilities in Austin to deliver 1 terawatt of annual compute capacity for robotics and data centers. The deal could provide a crucial lifeline for Intel's turnaround while cementing Musk's custom silicon ambitions.
