"用火箭帮助AI融资。"北大新闻传播学院教授胡泳评价xAI与SpaceX的合并，"基本上是讲资本故事， 我称之为'科幻金融化'"。 2026年2月3日，xAI与SpaceX以迅雷不及掩耳之势完成合并，距离相关传闻不到一周时间，合并后的实 体估值1.25万亿美元，一个太空算力的叙事完成闭环。 外媒援引知情人士的消息，称交易金额为2500亿美元。 合并传闻之前，市场讨论最多的即2026年SpaceX上市——计划通过IPO融资规模高达500亿美元，估值 约1.5万亿美元。 "单纯的'火箭'+'卫星'公司很贵。"先后投资了SpaceX、Neuralink、Anthropic和xAI的私募机构Brilliant Phoenix Al合伙人芦义说。 芦义认为，这种合并在叙事上更加性感，更有想象力。 "加入xAI和Grok后，立刻变成'太空+AI+全球通信+宇宙理解'的超级故事。" 作为马斯克旗下最重要的两家私营公司，xAI负责人工智能业务，SpaceX则规划了移民火星的愿景，两 家公司都有探索人类未来的远大目标，不过现阶段共同面临着单一叙事难以为继的问题。 在人工智能市场与OpenAI、Anthropic等独角兽以及谷歌 ...

就在刚刚，SpaceX 正式收购 xAI。 两家公司合并后的估值预计高达 1.25 万亿美元。其中，SpaceX 估值 1 万亿美元，xAI 估值 2500 亿美元，全股票交易，不涉及现金。 这已经不是马斯克第一次搞这种「左手收右手」，把自己控制的公司像「拼乐高」一样拼装组合的事情了。 2016 年 11 月， 特斯拉收购了马斯克实控的另一家新能源公司 SolarCity， 价格高达 26 亿美元。该笔交易遭到起诉，投资者指控马斯克用特斯拉当时充裕 的现金去「解救」表现不佳的 SolarCity。 2025 年 3 月，刚成立没多久的 xAI 收购了马斯克实控的 X（原 Twitter），目的是形成社交平台、数据、模型、算力和人才的闭环。在那之后，X 成为了 xAI 旗下模型 Grok 的试验场。 然后就是今天 SpaceX 收购 xAI。 在新的架构里， Grok 和 X 代表模型与社交内容平台场景，Starlink 和 Starship 代表轨道网络与发射能力。放在一起看，SpaceX 收购 xAI 远不止单纯的资 本操作，而更像是把「AI 产业链上游和下游」打包的重组。 这则消息由马斯克本人在 Spac ...

2月3日，A股市场早盘冲高回落后，又再度震荡拉升。三大指数盘中翻绿，创业板指此前一度涨超2%，截至午间收盘，三大指数集体翻红。沪深两市半 日成交额1.6万亿，较上个交易日缩量400亿，全市场超4400只个股上涨。 此次股价异动，或源于公司此前披露的2025年业绩预告中透露出的单季业绩不及预期信号。 1月30日晚间，寒武纪正式发布2025年年度业绩预告，全年经营数据整体呈现大幅增长态势。但结合公司已披露的2025年三季报数据测算，单季度业绩表 现却显露出增长动能放缓的迹象。寒武纪2025年前三季度归母净利润为16.05亿元，以此计算，公司2025年第四季度归母净利润预计在2.45亿元至5.45亿元 区间，环比上一季度的5.67亿元下滑3%至56%，单季盈利规模出现明显收缩。而市场层面，分析师对寒武纪2025年第四季度归母净利润的一致预测值为 6.13亿元，公司四季度业绩预测区间整体低于市场预期。 港股方面，恒生科技指数盘中跌超3%，截至发稿，热门成分股百度集团跌超4%，腾讯控股跌近4%，阿里巴巴跌超2%，美团跌近2%，京东集团跌近1%。 具体板块来看，商业航天概念走势强劲，海兰信（300065）、航天发展（00 ...

Ross Gerber, co-founder of investment firm Gerber Kawasaki, has questioned Elon Musk's strategy of having his companies merge amid the SpaceX–xAI merger.What Would Happen When The Money Runs Out?In a post on the social media platform X on Monday, the investor questioned what would happen when all of the Musk-led companies face cash flow issues. "X was out of money. Merged with xAI," Gerber said. He then outlined that xAI, too, was "out of money," which possibly led to the SpaceX merger."SpaceX out of money. ...
