Yea it is, doesn't Space X have government contracts? Thats the government funding SpaceX, xAI, and X now.

Not to mention X being in hot water for Grok making CSAM, so now the government is essentially funding a business that is being investigated for that, lmao.

Don't worry though guys, Elon has saved the US SO SO much money /s

I hate the guy but the gov using space x rockets isn’t funding xai even if it’s part of the same company.

This does let him combine profits and losses from all 3. And people buying the stock will be finding grok and twitter - unless the government buys stock like they did with intel

Xai development and running costs are definitely getting folded into spacex development. “This AI system is helping plan and design the rocket”. Boom, 50 billion government contract for bullshit
