0:00.0

SpaceX has officially acquired Elon Musk's AI startup XAI.

0:05.1

This is a record-setting deal that makes both of these companies combined worth about $1.25 trillion.

0:13.1

This is creating what Elon Musk is calling the most, quote-unquote,

0:16.1

ambitiously vertical integrated technology company ever built.

0:19.3

There's a lot of craziness going on,

0:21.3

including building AI data centers in space, having SpaceX fire them up, having XAI run them.

0:26.8

There's a lot of wildness. But of course, this is also all on the backs of IPO that is

0:31.7

supposed to be happening to the most valuable private company in the world, SpaceX. So today on

0:36.3

the podcast, I want to get into the numbers on this whole deal, everything going on, the viability of this kind of AI data center

0:42.3

and space deal, how fast this whole deal went together. I think blew a lot of people away. So let's get

0:46.8

into all of that. Before we do, if you want to try any of the top AI companies, including

all of your AI files and documents in one space for $20 a month. So if you want to go check

1:32.6

It was just confirmed by Bloomberg and it values SpaceX at about a trillion dollars and then

1:37.6

it's a value in XAI at about 250 billion. So this is according to a bunch of documents that

1:42.2

CNBC saw. So structured as kind of like a share

1:45.9

exchange, this whole deal together converts each share of XAI into 0.1433 shares of SpaceX stocks,

1:55.8

which basically gives it a price of $75.46 per XAI share and $5.25.46 X-AI share and $5.26 per SpaceX share. Okay, anyways, I mean,
