SpaceX AI handset prototype claim denied by Elon Musk

The Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX showed investors a prototype of a handset‑like AI device that is slimmer than an iPhone, runs a proprietary operating system, incorporates xAI technology and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. The prototype was presented ahead of the company’s IPO and was described as an early‑stage concept that could change or be cancelled. Elon Musk responded on X, calling the report “utterly false” (or “completely false” in other languages). SpaceX has emphasized that the project remains in its infancy and no production timeline has been confirmed. The story highlights SpaceX’s broader push into AI hardware and Starlink‑linked mobile services, which could challenge the Apple‑Google smartphone ecosystem, while noting that similar AI‑focused devices from other firms have struggled commercially.
