SpaceX has announced its acquisition of xAI to build a massive network of orbital data centers, bypassing terrestrial power grid limitations. The proposed constellation targets up to one million solar-powered satellites and relies heavily on the heavy-lift capabilities of the Starship launch vehicle. A highly anticipated IPO is reportedly planned for 2026, valuing the company at an estimated $1.5 trillion. The move is seen as the financial and structural engine to eventually support a self-sustaining civilization on Mars.
