The animosity between Elon Musk and Sam Altman is as convoluted as sordid, replete with a veritable smorgasbord of moves and countermoves that frequently spill out from the personal sphere and into the commercial one. Now, just a few hours after Altman's OpenAI announced the termination of its partnership with SpaceX's Cursor, while citing fears around the security of its proprietary technology, SpaceX has hit back with a diminutive take on the importance of OpenAI's models within the platform's ecosystem. SpaceX's Cursor remains unfazed by the termination of its partnership with OpenAI, with Elon Musk's behemoth enterprise taking pains to […]

Contrary to Elon Musk's maximalist ambitions, the Bank of America believes that SpaceX's ongoing attempts to establish a viable pathway for offering direct-to-device (D2D) wireless services present a daunting challenge, marked by massive investments and years of infrastructure development, which paradoxically opens up a partnership avenue with T-Mobile and major cell tower operators. The Bank of America (BofA): SpaceX’s wireless ambitions could benefit T-Mobile, cell tower operators, and spectrum values BofA has just published a new note on SpaceX's D2D ambitions, noting the massive CapEx, vast spectrum requirements, and years of infrastructure development needed to realize those plans. As such, […]

In what is a seminal step for China's fast-evolving space industry, LandSpace has just managed to successfully recover the booster of its Zhuque-3 (ZQ-3) rocket, becoming a viable counterpart to the state-backed CALT and its CZ-10B rocket. LandSpace's ZQ-3 rocket just became a viable counterpart to the state-backed CALT and its CZ-10B rocket China's space-related ambitions are growing by leaps and bounds. We reported recently that the Asian giant has now reserved over 200,000 orbital slots with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), with some estimates pegging the total number at 244,000. Well, now China is apparently becoming serious about filling […]

With nearly every facet of legacy coding tools under a concerted siege from AI agents, it was only a matter of time until AI labs turned their roving eyes towards Microsoft's GitHub and its fertile pickings. Well, SpaceX's Cursor has just launched the Origin, an AI-native repository for coding agents, taking a stab at Microsoft's GitHub-related moat. SpaceX's Cursor has designed Origin for agentic throughput, and equipped it with automated conflict resolution, stacked pull requests, and comprehensive metadata for agent-written code, overcoming many of GitHub's shortcomings Last week, SpaceX completed its $60 billion all-stock deal to acquire the AI startup […]

Elon Musk's SpaceXAI was largely written off as a has-been AI enterprise a while back. And yet, it has proven its detractors egregiously wrong with the all-new Grok 4.6, an AI model that goes toe-to-toe with Anthropic's Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol at a fraction of price. Grok 4.6 achieves a score of 61 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, which is the same as GPT-5.6 Sol and just a point shy of Claude Fable 5 SpaceXAI's Grok 4.6 offers comparable performance to Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol when it comes to Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. It […]

T-Mobile's CEO has chosen to be dismissive of SpaceX's recent braggadocio, terming the threat posed by Elon Musk's cellular ambitions as "exaggerated" and lacking any particularly strong utility in solving consumer-centric problems. And yet, this seemingly cavalier attitude on the part of T-Mobile might belie its hidden fears. After all, SpaceX possesses a wide array of strategic assets, including well-endowed coffers, a vast constellation of satellites, and Elon Musk's relentless ambition serving as a potent driving force. T-Mobile is seemingly unfazed by SpaceX's plans to turn Starlink dishes into cellular base stations for urban cellular coverage As we detailed recently, […]

Elon Musk was already aiming for an unprecedented degree of semiconductor-related vertical integration within the confines of the uber-ambitious Terafab joint project between Tesla and SpaceX. Even so, the mega-billionaire has just dialed up his ambitions by a significant notch by also throwing in memory-related ambitions into this proverbial silicon cauldron. Tesla has just posted a job opening for a Memory Process Integration Engineer for Terafab to handle the "integration of unit processes for DRAM and emerging memory technologies" For the benefit of those who might not be aware, Terafab is an ambitious semiconductor-focused joint venture between Tesla and SpaceX […]
