The merger, which Musk announced on Monday, involved SpaceX acquiring xAI to unify his missions in space and artificial intelligence (AI). The transaction values SpaceX at approximately $1 trillion and xAI at roughly $250 billion.
This deal shattered a twenty-year record for global M&A, previously held by Vodafone’s $203 billion takeover of Mannesmann in 2000.

Musk framed the synergy as a long-term play for human intelligence, stating the merger marks “not just the next chapter, but the next book” in his shared mission. Taking to X, Musk celebrated the union: “To the stars! SpaceX & xAI are now one company.”
