Musk Says SpaceXAI Will Be Renamed SpaceXSI

Elon Musk said on October 4 that he would rename SpaceXAI, an artificial intelligence unit associated with SpaceX, to SpaceXSI, adopting the phrase “super intelligence” favored by U.S. President Donald Trump. The reports establish Musk’s intention, but do not show that the name change has been completed or provide a timeline. Musk made the statement in a reply on X to a user asking whether he would change the unit’s name. “Yes, we will make that change,” he wrote. At the time of publication, the SpaceXAI account on X had not changed its name, and Musk had not provided further details. SpaceXAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment, according to the reports describing the exchange. Trump had urged the use of “super intelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence” in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. He said U.S. documents should use the new phrase and expressed hope that other countries would do so as well. The available reporting describes this as Trump’s stated preference for government terminology; it does not establish that a federal directive required SpaceX to rename its unit.
