On Sunday, October 4, Elon Musk announced that he plans to rename SpaceXAI, the artificial intelligence division of SpaceX, to SpaceXSI. This decision follows a presidential decree by Donald Trump, signed on September 29, which requires federal agencies to use the terms "Super Intelligence" and "SI" instead of "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" in their public communications, websites, reports, and policy documents. However, the decree does not require private companies to adopt the new terminology. Musk, however, has chosen to comply voluntarily. Musk confirmed the name change in response to a user on X, stating, "Yes, we will proceed with this change." This would be the third name change for the division in less than a year. Previously known as xAI, the division was acquired by SpaceX in February 2026 and renamed SpaceXAI in July. At the time of the announcement, the SpaceXAI account on X still used its current name, and the company had not yet provided a timeline or details about the transition. The push for the terminology shift began when Trump first advocated for it on September 22, during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly. He argued that "super" is a more accurate term than "artificial" when describing advanced AI systems. On October 4, Trump also announced the creation of a "Super Intelligence Force," a government group led by Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence. This group is tasked with coordinating federal efforts to maintain U.S. leadership in the field of super intelligence and must submit a report on the risks and opportunities of the technology within 120 days. The term "super intelligence" traditionally refers to a hypothetical AI system that would surpass human capabilities in nearly all areas. However, current AI technologies, such as the chatbot Grok developed by xAI, are far from achieving this level. Despite this, Musk has described SpaceX as a "super intelligence company," and other tech leaders, including Jensen Huang of Nvidia, have used the term as well, referring to data centers as "factories of super intelligence." The White House Accord on Super Intelligence, signed by Musk and other tech leaders including Meta, Amazon, Nvidia, Anthropic, Google, and Palantir, shows that the industry is engaging with the new terminology. However, there is no official announcement linking SpaceX to the new government initiative led by Trump's administration.
