Musk Says SpaceXAI Will Be Renamed SpaceXSI
The rename follows the White House's move to replace "AI" with "SI" across the federal government, tying Musk's corporate branding to a term the U.S. administration has already adopted.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
Elon Musk said he plans to rename SpaceXAI, the subsidiary of SpaceX that handles AI development and the operation of X, to SpaceXSI. Musk answered "That's the plan" when a user asked about the change. He later posted, "SpaceX is a superintelligence company." The timing is unclear, and the official site still reads SpaceXAI.
The name change traces back to Washington. After a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to refer to artificial intelligence as "super intelligence," then signed an executive order mandating "SI" in place of "AI" across the federal government. Musk posted on X that "We don't need 'AI' anymore. 'SI' is better," and a user named X Freeze asked whether SpaceXAI would be renamed SpaceXSI. Musk replied, "That's the plan."
No date has been set. The SpaceXAI website still carries the old name.
