Musk says SpaceXAI will rename to SpaceXSI
Overnight on X, Musk endorsed dropping “AI” for “SI” — Super Intelligence — and confirmed the SpaceXAI → SpaceXSI change when asked.
Musk posted that there should be “No more AI,” favoring the Super Intelligence framing. When a user asked whether SpaceXAI would become SpaceXSI, he replied simply that the change would happen.
“Yes, we will make that change.” — Elon Musk on X, Oct. 4
The move tracks President Trump’s Sept. 29 executive order pushing federal “SI” language. As of this morning, no official logo, domain, or handle flip has shipped — the confirmation is the story, not a completed rebrand.

Musk confirms TSMC talks on Terafab — “something may come of it”
After Culpium reported that TSMC is exploring owning and operating a Terafab fab — with a Texas angle and exclusive supply for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI — Musk confirmed the conversations on X Saturday morning.
“Just discussions, but something may come of it.” — Elon Musk on X, Oct. 3
TSMC has not commented. Intel was previously named as a 14A process partner; how that role shifts if TSMC joins remains unclear. No deal has been announced.

Austin Robotaxi hours stretch to 11pm
@robotaxi extended Austin service to 11pm (was 6am–10pm). Musk said the main barrier to later hours is not hitting hard-to-see pets at night — drawing an Electrek lidar critique Saturday.
“Literally trying to avoid grey kittens on grey tarmac in the dark.” — Elon Musk on X, Oct. 3

Merch: no new material drop overnight
shop.spacex.com still features Flight 14 / Starlink V3 Milestone tees ($35) and patches ($15) from the Sept. 28 launch window. No confirmed new Tesla, xAI, or Boring store drops in the overnight window.
Catch-up: Neuralink 50,000-hour pretrained decoder
Oct. 1 Neuralink update (missed in Saturday’s digest): pretraining on 50,000 hours of unlabeled brain data cut some users’ calibration from ~10 min/day toward ~10 min/week; P15 hit an 11.32 BPS cursor record.
From Saturday’s edition (context)
Tesla Q3 deliveries 486,532 / prod 464,391, Cybercab’s rocky month one (169 authorized + NHTSA), Meridian Pentagon COI, and the Zilis breakup remain background — not rehashed as leads today.
Terafab supply lane
Reporting frames Terafab as exclusive for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI silicon. Intel’s earlier 14A role and any TSMC operating model are still open questions until a term sheet appears.
