What Musk’s $1.25 trillion SpaceX xAI merger is REALLY about

Elon Musk is reportedly eyeing a historic merger between SpaceX and xAI. This $1.25 trillion move isn't just about valuation; it’s about providing Grok with the ultimate "off-world" compute platform via Starlink and specialized orbital data centers. We break down the geopolitical and technical implications of a unified space-AI empire.

#Russia #Gubarev posted probably the most detailed description of the #Starlink shutdown for Russian troops on the front line:

Our comrades-in-arms on the front line report that the StarLink terminals have gone dark.

Now we will be at a disadvantage in terms of decision-making speed and situational awareness. This is called technological backwardness.

If the internet on Gazprom’s satellite dishes is working poorly at key communication nodes and command posts, then UAVs, electronic reconnaissance/electronic warfare, firepower and infantry positions are now without internet. This means that there will be no broadcasts, no battlefield imagery, etc.

Now, no matter how ingenious the decisions made by local commanders may be, we will simply lose in terms of the speed of decision-making and implementation on the battlefield.

It’s like putting Schumacher behind the wheel of a Lada and an ordinary driver behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Schumacher will lose the race in any case, because the technological base is different, no matter what.

No alternative domestic systems for operational data exchange have been created.

@sundogplanets I think the US government is trying to "flood the zone" to practically prevent other nations from launching their systems. the sooner they do it, the harder it is for anybody else to escape US satellite services (civil & military). an example of these attempts, The FT last week revealed the company [ #Rheinmetall from #Germany] was also in talks over a joint bid to build an equivalent to #ElonMusk #Starlink internet service for the German military. https://archive.is/MwjXQ#selection-1577.20-1577.33

So #elonmusk merged #xai to #spacex. The first thing he did was to change the privacy policy for #starlink and use the data of the users to train #ai models. Without asking permission. You need to disable this thing manually in your profile page.
