SpaceX reportedly showed investors a slim AI device prototype before its IPO, per WSJ sources. The handset runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip and integrates tech from Musk's xAI. Thinner than an iPhone, it uses a proprietary OS and ties into Musk's "everything app" vision from his X (formerly Twitter) acquisition.
Musk flatly denied the report on social media, calling it "utterly false." He's previously shot down rumors that SpaceX is building a phone.
The timing matters: OpenAI and other AI heavyweights are racing to build the next smartphone replacement. If real, this device would put SpaceX in direct competition for the post-iPhone era.
