SpaceX revenue soars 161% as AI business grows

Warning: Auto-playing video! (Thought I had that turned off in Firefox, but looks like I had done that just on Youtube. At full volume, it gave me quite a jolt)

SpaceX is now GAAP profitable, and based on the current S&P 500 inclusion criteria & the rate of profit growth, they should be eligible for S&P 500 inclusion starting June 2027.

"SpaceX revenue soars 161% as AI business grows"

No mention of Starlink in the title. Is the revenue growth attributable to "AI" growth

"The surge in revenue was owed in large part to a significant expansion of the company's businesses centered on artificial intelligence and Starlink, a satellite internet service, the earnings showed."

"... and Starlink..."

And then, reading a little further...

"Starlink, the main driver of the company's profits, received attention from investors ahead of the release."

Perhaps it's the _only_ driver of the company's profits

Arguably "AI" spending (losses) is diminishing profits

HN commenters frequently argue that the titles from media outlets can be misleading

Perhaps this one qualifies
