来源：环球网 【环球网科技综合报道】2月13日，据外媒TechCrunch报道，在SpaceX与xAI完成合并、计划推进IPO之 际，特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克为两家公司确立了全新愿景——打造"阿尔法月球基地"，以此替代搁置的 火星殖民计划，为AI与航天业务融合指明方向。这一愿景也成为xAI高管离职潮后的全新招聘筹码，马 斯克公开喊话："若月球质量驱动器的构想吸引你，就加入xAI。" 据悉，两家公司合并后的核心协同点的是在轨AI数据中心，而马斯克将这一构想进一步延伸：要突破 地球轨道数据中心的能量局限，就必须登陆月球，建造月球城市批量生产太空计算机，并通过磁悬浮列 车将AI卫星发射至深空，甚至利用太阳能的部分能量训练和运行AI模型。 外媒报道称，这一转变源于SpaceX对火星殖民计划的务实调整。此前九年，"火星殖民"一直是SpaceX 的核心招聘和融资叙事，但该计划因缺乏商业回报、技术成本过高难以推进，如今SpaceX已将重心转 向更具可行性的月球任务，包括执行NASA价值40亿美元的登月合同、构建月球经济生态。而阿尔法月 球基地，正是马斯克为融合xAI业务打造的全新叙事，区别于行业内千篇一律的AI研发方向。 ...
