Musk says SpaceX AI will out-earn rockets by September, and be trained on staff

SpaceX posted a 30-minute all-hands to X on Tuesday. Elon Musk used it to make two claims, and they only make sense together. The first is a number. AI revenue will pass everything else the company sells by next month. The second is a method. SpaceX will train Grok on its own information, including the […]
