SpaceX has quietly shown investors in the United States an early prototype of a slim AI phone-style device in recent weeks, according to people briefed on the meetings, despite Elon Musk publicly insisting earlier this year that the company was 'not developing a phone.'
Reports shared with investors describe a handset-like SpaceX AI device that looks broadly like a modern smartphone, but thinner than an iPhone and running a proprietary operating system tied to xAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company. The device is said to sit at a very early stage of development, and those briefed have been told the design may change significantly and might never actually reach consumers.
