SpaceX AI Revenue Surpasses Connectivity Business Amid Potential Tesla Merger Speculation
Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) has demonstrated significant growth in its artificial intelligence division, which generated $7.56 billion in third-quarter revenue. This milestone marks the first time SpaceX's 'super intelligence' segment has outperformed its connectivity business, including Starlink. The company reported total quarterly revenue of $14.6 billion, a 161% year-over-year increase, and achieved a net income of $4.4 billion, successfully reversing previous losses. The company's aggressive expansion is fueled by massive capital expenditures totaling $19.6 billion in the third quarter to build AI computing infrastructure. Market interest is further heightened by reports that SpaceX and Tesla (TSLA) have formed committees to explore a potential merger based on a combined market value of approximately $3.4 trillion. If successful, this consolidation could accelerate SpaceX's trajectory toward a projected $5 trillion valuation by 2029.
