Musk denies WSJ report claiming SpaceX showcased AI handset prototype before IPO

Elon Musk on Wednesday denied a Wall Street Journal report that SpaceX showed investors and other stakeholders a prototype ​of an AI-focused device ahead of its blockbuster IPO, Reuters writes.

“Utterly ‌false,” Musk said in a post on X, without elaborating.

Earlier, citing people familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX had shown investors a prototype of a handset-like ​device, designed to change how people interact with AI. However, the report did not specify how the device would function or what capabilities it would have. According to the publication, it would most likely run on a proprietary operating ​system.

The report added that SpaceX had told ​some investors the project remained in its early stages, with the ​design still evolving and no certainty the device would ultimately be built.
