Elon Musk’s SpaceX has developed a prototype device resembling a cell phone to integrate with the AI technologies of SpaceX’s xAI division. According to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the device is intended to transform the way humans interact with artificial intelligence.
The technology resembles a smartphone—it looks sleek and is thinner than an iPhone, according to people interviewed by the newspaper. It runs on its own operating system featuring xAI technology and aligns with Musk’s “app for everything” philosophy, the WSJ notes.
Ahead of its IPO in mid-June, the company demonstrated the gadget to investors and other interested parties. The device will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, sources told the publication. According to their information, the project is still in the early stages of development: the design may change, and it is not yet clear whether such a gadget will be released at all.
Representatives from SpaceX and Qualcomm did not immediately respond to journalists' inquiries. In trading on July 1, SpaceX shares fell 6.6%, while Qualcomm shares rose 0.6%.
UPDATE: “An absolute lie,” Musk later wrote on X in response to the post. He did not provide any further comments on the matter.
In February, Reuters reported that SpaceX plans to develop a mobile device connected to its Starlink satellite internet network that could compete with smartphones.
