“If the idea of a mass driver on the Moon appeals to you, come join xAI,” Musk proclaimed, as xAI merges with SpaceX ahead of a joint IPO. Not AGI, not disrupting software—the Moon.

After pitching orbital data centers, Musk went further: a lunar city, launching AI satellites into deep space via maglev. This isn’t a whim—it echoes SpaceX’s Mars narrative, now fading in favor of the Kardashev Scale: harnessing a star’s energy to train intelligence beyond imagination.
The catch? No one paid for Mars. Starship’s mission has shrunk from colonization to Starlink launches and NASA lunar contracts. The Moon base, too, is far from reality. But it was never a business plan—it’s a recruitment pitch. As one departing xAI exec put it: “Every AI lab is building the same thing. It’s boring.”
A solar-system-scale supercomputer on the Moon? Call it what you want. But it’s not boring.
řekl Roger Luo:As AI labs converge on sameness, Musk deploys space colonization as both talent magnet and strategic rhetoric. Vision becomes differentiation.
