据报道，SpaceX正与人工智能初创公司xAI进行深入合并谈判。消息称，双方有望在本周达成协议，尽管谈判仍在进行中。 若合并成功，将把全球最大的两家私营企业结合在一起。xAI在去年九月完成融资，估值约为2000亿美元；而SpaceX去年底准备 进行股份出售，估值约为8000亿美元。 合并后，SpaceX的发射与卫星基础设施将与xAI的计算与模型研发相结合。这可能为马斯克在轨道部署数据中心、支持大规模AI 工作负载的愿景铺平道路。 埃隆·马斯克日益将旗下公司围绕自动驾驶、人工智能和太空基础设施进行联动。根据近期文件，SpaceX正寻求监管批准，以发 射多达一百万颗卫星，作为其长期计划的一部分。这一规模有望支撑太空计算概念。 《彭博》此前还报道，SpaceX曾讨论与电动汽车制造商特斯拉潜在的合作可能性。与此同时，SpaceX据称也在为可能的首次公 开募股（IPO）做准备，估值或最高可达1.5万亿美元。不过，关于SpaceX IPO的时间表尚未公布。 此消息最初由《彭博新闻》报道，引用了熟悉此事的消息人士。 《彭博》消息称，SpaceX和xAI已向部分投资者通报了可能合并两家私营公司的计划。两家公司代表尚未立即回应 ...
