# xAI stock: you buy it as SpaceX (SPCX), and AI is now half the company > xAI has no stock of its own. SpaceX bought it in an all-stock deal on February 2, 2026, so the only way to own xAI, Grok and X is SpaceX, ticker SPCX on the Nasdaq. What happened, what xAI is worth inside SpaceX, and how to buy. By Maya Koeva · 2026-10-22  You can't buy xAI stock on its own. There is no xAI ticker, because SpaceX acquired xAI in an all-stock deal that closed on February 2, 2026, and xAI's investors were paid in SpaceX shares. The way to own xAI is to own SpaceX, which trades on the Nasdaq as **SPCX**. One SPCX share closed at $159.31 on October 21, and AI is now the biggest part of what it sells: $7.6 billion of SpaceX's $14.6 billion third-quarter revenue. ## What happened to xAI | | | |---|---| | Deal | SpaceX acquired xAI in an all-stock deal | | Closed | February 2, 2026 | | Reported value of xAI | About $250 billion | | Reported value of SpaceX | About $1 trillion | | Combined | About $1.25 trillion | | What xAI shareholders got | SpaceX shares | The valuations are from Bloomberg and Reuters reporting, as summarized by [KeepTrack](https://keeptrack.space/deep-dive/who-owns-spacex). xAI no longer exists as a separate company with its own shareholders. Four months after the deal, on June 12, SpaceX listed on the Nasdaq at $135 a share. That made the combined company, xAI included, a public stock anyone with a brokerage account can buy. The IPO facts are in **[our SpaceX IPO guide](/blog/spacex-ipo)**. ## What xAI is now, inside SpaceX Three things came with xAI: - **Grok**, the chatbot and the models behind it. - **X**, the social network that used to be Twitter. xAI bought X Corp in March 2025 in an all-stock deal that valued X at $33 billion, so X moved into SpaceX along with xAI. - **The AI business itself**, which SpaceX now reports as a segment called **Super Intelligence**. It used to be called AI. SpaceX's other two businesses are Connectivity, which is mostly Starlink, and launch. Starlink has no stock of its own either: **[our Starlink stock page](/blog/starlink-stock)** covers that side. ## How big AI is in SpaceX's numbers SpaceX reported its third quarter on October 20, after the close. According to [Via Satellite](https://www.satellitetoday.com/finance/2026/10/21/starlink-growth-slows-as-ai-takes-the-lead-at-spacex-in-q3-results/): | Q3 2026 | Revenue | Change from a year earlier | |---|---:|---:| | Super Intelligence (xAI, Grok) | $7.6 billion | +830% | | Connectivity (Starlink) | $5.2 billion | +69% | | SpaceX total | $14.6 billion | +161% | Super Intelligence brought in more than half of the quarter's revenue and overtook Connectivity as the biggest segment. Via Satellite puts the jump down to cloud services agreements and the Cursor acquisition. SPCX rose 7.8% the next day, from $147.79 to $159.31. That changes what an SPCX share is. In the second quarter, AI was about a third of SpaceX's $7.8 billion revenue. In the third, it was more than half. ## How to buy xAI stock Buying xAI means buying SPCX. It works like any other US stock: 1. Open or log in to a brokerage account that offers US stocks. 2. Search for **SPCX**. Not SPCE, which is Virgin Galactic. 3. Pick a number of shares, or a dollar amount if your broker sells fractional shares. 4. Place a market order (fills now) or a limit order (fills only at your price or better). Outside the US, you need a broker with access to US exchanges. The full walkthrough, with the order types and the notes for non-US buyers, is in **[how to buy SpaceX stock](/blog/spacex-ipo#how-to-buy-spacex-stock)**. If you are looking at the 2x funds that track SPCX instead, read **[our SpaceX ETF guide](/blog/spacex-etf)** first: none of them is a plain way to hold it. ## Is there a Grok stock? No. Grok belongs to SpaceX, through xAI, so there is no Grok ticker and no Grok IPO. SPCX is the only listed stock that owns it. One more thing you may have read about: on the October 20 call, Elon Musk talked about a possible future merger of SpaceX and Tesla. That is talk. Nothing has been announced or agreed, and today Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) are separate stocks. ## What the accounts we track say about SPCX Quantral reads SpaceX the way it reads every stock: by what the accounts with a real track record say about it. As of the morning of October 19, SpaceX carried a 7-day score of 64, on the positive side and down from the 76 it read in mid-August. Those accounts have called the big turns.
