They probably want the training data. Otherwise these 60B don't make sense at all.

But they can't buy curser before their IPO so thats that?

Perhaps they have to much compute because Musk overpromised and Twittergroq doesn't need that much compute after he nerved the porn stuff?

It takes longer to build a datacenter with that much capacity than it does for the market to respond.

I think they're going to have to do a lot to overcome the Musk and Grok poison. Even ChatGPT hasn't had as many lapses as Grok has had.

I don’t get the SpaceX reference. I thought they made rockets?
reply
Nobody is paying for Elons xAI so he used SpaceX to buy xAI to fund it.

Under the pretense that SpaceX will be used to launch material into space to build space data centers.

They now also own xAI

Which in turn owns Twitter. SpaceX is now a social media company in addition to a rocket company.

One theory I think Matt Levine posited, is that SpaceX will go public with dual-class stock that gives Elon control even with a minority ownership stake, and will subsequently buy Tesla, which doesn't have dual class stock, making SpaceX the singular "Elon Musk company", with him having operational control despite being public.

reply
That theory aligns with Elon's long-held dream of X as the "Everything Company".
reply
Then he'll rebrand SpaceX to " X" (a space followed by an X).
