"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 ...

【环球网科技综合报道】11月19日消息,据路透社援引《华尔街日报》报道称,埃隆·马斯克旗下人工 智能公司xAI正就新一轮股权融资与投资者深入谈判,计划募集150亿美元,估值高达2300亿美元。该 估值较3月与X平台合并时公布的1130亿美元翻倍有余。 据透露,马斯克的财富管理合伙人贾里德·伯查尔于周二晚间向潜在出资方发送融资条款概要,但未明 确2300亿美元为融资前还是融资后口径。 外媒称,此次募集资金将主要用于扩建田纳西州孟菲斯"Colossus"超级计算机集群及购买英伟达新一代 GPU,以训练参数规模更大的语言模型,缩小与OpenAI GPT-5及Anthropic Claude的差距。 值得注意的是,特斯拉股东本月初刚批准向xAI追加投资,允许两家公司共享算力与工程资源,为xAI 提供额外的现金流和硬件支持。(青云) ...
