Musk denies WSJ report that SpaceX showed AI handset prototype before IPO
The prototype is said to run on a proprietary operating system and use xAI technology as SpaceX weighs a push into wireless services.
- The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that SpaceX showed investors a prototype handset-like AI device with a "sleek design," though the company said the project remains in an early stage.
- Elon Musk denied the reporting, calling it "utterly false," while SpaceX confirmed the project is in early development where the design could change and commercial production remains uncertain.
- The prototype reportedly uses a proprietary operating system to integrate Starlink Mobile connectivity and xAI technology, aiming to create a vertically integrated endpoint that avoids reliance on platforms like Google's Android.
- Industry observers cautioned that the market for dedicated AI hardware remains difficult, citing a crowded graveyard of unsuccessful launches from companies like Humane and Rabbit as a cautionary tale.
- SpaceX has signaled interest in expanding wireless services through Starlink Mobile as a potential competitor to Verizon and AT&T; analysts speculate failed retail deals could prompt acquisition of carriers like T-Mobile.
