SpaceXAI becomes SpaceXSI: Elon Musk aligns with Donald Trump's decree

Three months of existence, and already a new name. This Sunday, October 4, 2026, Elon Musk confirmed on X that SpaceXAI, the branch born from the disappearance of xAI in favor of SpaceXAI, will soon be called SpaceXSI. Two letters change. They come straight from the White House, where Donald Trump decided that intelligence was no longer artificial. Behind the paint job is a company worth more than 2,000 billion dollars, and a treasure in bitcoins which we will tell you about below.

SpaceXSI: Musk adopts Super Intelligence in two messages

The scene takes place in two publications. On Sunday, Musk posted a concise formula on X: “More AI. IF. It's better. » A subscriber then asks him if SpaceXAI will follow suit. The boss’s response, translated from English, “yes, we will make this change”. Spoiler alert here: No timetable accompanies the promise.

To measure the irony, we have to go back the thread. On February 2, 2026, SpaceX swallows xAI, the laboratory that develops the Grok chatbot, in a stock transaction that values ​​the target at $250 billion. In July, xAI disappeared in favor of SpaceXAI. A month later, the new entity acquired the code editor Cursor for $60 billion. So here comes a third identity in eight months. In-house graphic designers are not idle.

Super Intelligence: What Trump's executive order changes, and what it leaves intact

Everything starts from New York. On September 22, from the podium of the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump explained that the word “artificial” makes this technology seem fake, although according to him there is nothing wrong with it. A week later, on September 29, he signed a decree called “Inaugurate the era of Super Intelligence”. According to the fact sheet published by the White House, federal agencies must now write “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in their letters, public communications and policy documents. The president's science adviser is responsible for proposing a federal definition of the term.

The text is only addressed to the administration. OpenAI, Google or Nvidia remain free with their vocabulary, and the laws already passed keep theirs. Musk is therefore voluntary. Small embarrassing detail, researchers have been using “superintelligence” for years to designate a machine that would surpass humans in all areas, a stage that no model has reached. The public sulks. In a September 28 YouGov poll of 21,449 adults, 53% preferred “artificial intelligence” and only 9% of Americans chose the presidential version. And the machine continues to turn. This Sunday, Donald Trump announced the creation of a “Super Intelligence Force”, responsible for coordinating federal action after an agreement signed at the White House by the giants of the sector, including SpaceXAI.

SpaceXSI on the stock market: a name change at 2,160 billion dollars

Those familiar with crypto markets know the music. In December 2017, iced tea seller Long Island Iced Tea renamed itself Long Blockchain, and its stock jumped nearly 300% during trading before it was delisted from the Nasdaq the following year. Can a buzzword still move billions? The present case differs in scale. SpaceX entered the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026 under the ticker SPCX raising $75 billion, a record. The stock closed at $158.96 on Friday October 2, valuing the group at approximately $2.16 trillion.

Under the label, the accounts remain those of a company that burns cash. Over twelve months, the group posted 23 billion dollars in revenue for a net loss of 8.9 billion. In 2025, artificial intelligence will absorb $12.7 billion in investments, or 61% of the group's spending and more than three times the space budget like that of Starlink. Renaming a subsidiary costs a few logos. Grok's chips cost in the billions.
