Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has hailed the SpaceX and Anthropic partnership, praising the Elon Musk-led company’s approach to artificial intelligence.
Pro-Human For The Win
“Pro-human for the win,” DeSantis said in a post on the social media platform X. He also shared that it was “appalling” to see “tech leaders” being “indifferent” to artificial intelligence technology replacing the “human experience.”
DeSantis shared his thoughts, quoting a post by The Kobeissi Letter, which claimed that Musk would provide AI compute to companies that were taking steps to not harm humanity.
Lawmakers like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have been raising alarms over the advent of AI and its impact on human job losses, following a recent comment by telecom operator Verizon’s (NYSE:VZ) CEO Dan Schulman, who predicted 20%-30% job cuts as AI adoption grows.
SpaceX-Anthropic Partnership
Following the announcement that both companies would be partnering up, Musk also shared that xAI, which is a part of SpaceX following its acquisition, would be dissolving and would become SpaceXAI instead.
Musk also called NVIDIA Corp‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) GB300 systems “the best AI computer.” The agreement is expected to open the doors to over 300 megawatts of compute capacity
A Series Of IPOs
The deal comes as both SpaceX and Anthropic are gearing up for potential IPOs this year, with SpaceX’s IPO confirmed to take place in June, targeting raising over $75 billion on a $1.75 trillion valuation with its public listing.
Notably, the commercial space flight company has cautioned investors ahead of the IPO, sharing that its ambitious goals of orbital datacenters and Mars colonies rely on “unproven technology” and may not be commercially viable.
On the other hand, the S&P 500, managed by S&P Global Dow Jones Indices, announced proposed rule changes governing entry into the index. The rule changes could help companies like SpaceX and Anthropic gain expedited entry.
