According to The Wall Street Journal, #OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once seriously considered—

raising funds to acquire a rocket company, or directly establishing deep cooperation with a rocket company.
Many people's first reaction is:
👉 Is #AI planning to go head-to-head with SpaceX?
But the real logic goes far beyond mere "business competition."
🧠 The core goal is only one:
to pave the way in advance for 's future "extreme computing power + extreme energy."
As AI enters a higher level of intelligence:
⚡ The demand for computing power will explode exponentially.
⚡ Energy consumption will surpass the limits of traditional data centers.
⚡ Ground-based infrastructure will eventually become insufficient.
Thus, "space-level computing power + space-level energy" has become one of the ultimate solutions.
So:
✅ Acquiring or cooperating with a rocket company = not for the sake of conflict
✅ but as a "necessary path" for AI to reach a higher dimension.
✅ Competition with SpaceX is merely a natural result of this grand strategy.
In short:
Altman doesn't want rockets—he wants AI's "ceiling." 🚀🤖
