Elon Musk has made a striking prediction about the future of SpaceX. The billionaire says artificial intelligence could account for 99% of the company's value within four or five years.
But there is a much sooner test of that vision. Musk told SpaceX employees this week that AI revenue could overtake every other part of the business by September. He also said AI would significantly exceed the company's other revenue streams in the fourth quarter. For a company built around rockets, satellites, and space exploration, the prediction signals a dramatic change in direction.
