The Wall Street Journal reports that SpaceX has shown insiders a prototype of a handset-like AI device. It sounds like a phone, or at least something close to one.
The device is said to be slimmer than an iPhone and reportedly uses a proprietary operating system that takes advantage of xAI’s technology. Although, everything is still very much in the prototype phase.
If true, the device would fit into Musk’s wider ambition to create an “everything app” that connects payments, AI, social media and potentially Starlink-powered internet.
AI companies are racing to define the next generation of computing devices. OpenAI is working with former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive on an AI device.
But Musk has denied the report, calling it “utterly false.”
Apple shares rose 1.7%, showing the market was not treating the prototype as a threat to the iPhone. SpaceX shares fell 7.7%, suggesting investors were not fully buying into the reported AI device story.
