Elon Musk said SpaceX’s artificial intelligence unit, SpaceXAI, will be renamed SpaceXSI. He confirmed the change in a reply on X on 4 October 2026 after a user asked whether SpaceXAI could become SpaceXSI, writing “Yes, we will make that change.” Earlier that day he posted that there would be “no more AI” and that “SI” was better and described SpaceX as a superintelligence company. The move follows an executive order from US President Donald Trump dated 29 September that directs federal agencies to drop the terms “artificial intelligence” and “AI” and instead use “superintelligence” or “SI” in official documents. Musk gave no date for the rename. At the time of reporting, the SpaceXAI account on X still used the old name. SpaceXAI, the unit behind Grok, adopted that name only in July after SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI. If completed, SpaceXSI would be the unit’s third name this year.
