In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.

If xAI disappeared tomorrow, literally nothing of value would have been lost. I'm not sure who would even notice immediately as I still have never met a single human being in real life who personally uses X.
