GoKawiilApple isn’t the only company with AI-focused products in the works. According to a new report, SpaceX has an artificial intelligence hardware prototype that’s “slimmer than an iPhone” in development.
SpaceX has been building an AI portfolio
For context, Elon Musk’s SpaceX recently absorbed the Musk-founded AI firm behind Grok, xAI, which is now called SpaceXAI.
For completion, X, formerly called Twitter, was absorbed by xAI before SpaceX absorbed xAI, and it’s all under SpaceX now. The company behind the agentic coding platform Cursor was also recently bought by SpaceX, adding to its AI portfolio.

The Wall Street Journal reports that SpaceX, which just became a publicly traded company is developing AI hardware and has a sleek prototype already.
“The rocket and AI company showed the prototype, which features a sleek design that is slimmer than an iPhone, to some investors and other stakeholders ahead of the company’s mega initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter,” according to The Wall Street Journal report.
The device is said to run on a “proprietary operating system” and use a Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm.
