How is Google competing with SpaceX?

If you look at the IPO filings you’ll see that Spacex as we know it is just a small part of the expected revenue generator. It is supposedly Grok and AI, hence Google competitor.

I can’t believe serious people use Grok. It has to be propped up by Twitter usage/Musk fans right? It really strikes me as the worst one.

They’re both AI companies

All companies are now AI companies. Just like a while ago all companies were suddenly Ads companies. The entire tech sector is one big FOMO - once you reach certain scale you do exactly the same thing as everyone else.

I get what you mean but SpaceX owns xAI, which is objectively a company that trains models and has massive distribution by owning X.

I don’t think their models are competitive with Google, and Google obviously has the best distribution imaginable, but they definitely are a competitor.

I'd push back slightly — not on the conclusion, but on the reasoning. There's a simpler explanation that accounts for the same observations.

One of which has more capacity and wants even more, one of which has less capacity and is renting it out.
