Elon Musk's xAI is draining SpaceX's cash, with little to show for it

SpaceX's AI division, which houses the Grok platform, generated $818 million of revenue in its last quarter but posted an operating loss of $2.47 billion. The figures point to significant near-term profitability pressure despite meaningful revenue generation. The update is negative for the unit’s fundamentals, though the overall market impact is likely limited to the company and AI-related investors.
