It’s only to boost the IPO price. The agreement will last only a few months on paper. I doubt it is a real transaction.

Didn't Anthropic pull the same in both ways? you pull me up I pull you up kind of deal? Sounds like SpaceX bought themselves some time up to Q4, which is not the case of Anthropic and even worse for OpenAI. Not counting that none of them got their S&P500 fast-track ticket.
The same terms Anthropic have today I believe.
Feels like these IPOs are thankfully the top coming before the AI crash and we get back to the real world.
Everything is a conspiracy now.
Of course this is a real deal. Compute is the most valuable resource in the world for these companies at the moment.
Either that or SpaceX is permanently turning xAI's assets into a neocloud because xAI itself has no traction.
The whole thing looks rather desperate. I wonder what SpaceX's margins are on these contracts.
