In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.

This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.

Can we also take a moment to acknowledge how utterly unhinged this part is?

"This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!"

yeah wtf.... a sentient sun? First of all, how do we know the sun isn't sentient? And if it was/is why assume it would give a shit about humanity?

But also wtf... Like, he's trying to merge the sun with AI? Am I taking it too literally? He's trying to create god? So he can ask for forgiveness for being a pedo pos?

He probably used AI to generate a mission statement for the merged company.
