SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches rockets and spacecraft, primarily serving the commercial spaceflight market. Their main products include the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, which are used for launching satellites and conducting cargo and crewed missions to the International Space Station (ISS) with their Dragon spacecraft. A significant aspect of SpaceX's operations is the development of reusable rockets, which help lower the costs associated with space travel, making it more accessible to various clients, including government agencies like NASA and private companies. Additionally, SpaceX is working on the Starlink project, a satellite internet constellation aimed at providing global broadband coverage. Unlike many competitors, SpaceX's focus on reusability and cost reduction sets it apart in the aerospace industry. The company's goal is to enable human life on other planets and to make space travel more affordable and accessible.

SpaceX has invested $2 billion into the AI startup xAI as part of a $5 billion equity round, enhancing connections with Elon Musk's other ventures. The merged entity, valued at $113 billion, focuses on AI technology for Starlink and future Tesla robotics.
