Summary
SpaceX, the newly-public satellite internet company that also dabbles in rockets and CSAM-generating chatbots, might be building its own AI hardware. Update, July 1 2026, 4:20PM ET: Well, that was fast. The device is slimmer than an iPhone, and is powered by one of Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. While Grok is easily accessible through the web, the X app or the standalone Grok app, offering your AI assistant through someone else's platform comes with certain disadvantages.
