MUSK DENIES SPACEX AI PHONE PROTOTYPE REPORT

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that SpaceX demonstrated a prototype device to investors ahead of going public. According to the report, the handset would feature a custom AI-enabled operating system with proprietary features. Musk dismissed the claim on social media, offering no further explanation or details about the denial. The report suggested the device represented SpaceX's potential expansion into the wireless market. This marks another instance of conflicting accounts surrounding Musk's various ventures. SpaceX has focused primarily on space launch and satellite internet through Starlink, though the company has explored adjacent technologies. The timing of the WSJ report—surfacing weeks after SpaceX's public offering—raised questions about the prototype's actual status and development stage. Neither Musk nor SpaceX provided additional context regarding what products or prototypes the company may be developing outside its core business.
