By Joey Roulette Feb 3 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's SpaceX has paused flights of its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket over an unspecified issue that its second stage experienced after successfully deploying Starlink satellites into orbit on Monday,

SpaceX halted Falcon 9 launches for a week while it investigated that issue, which was traced to a fuel leak in one of the booster's nine Merlin engines. This leak led to a fire shortly after touchdown, which weakened a landing leg and caused the vehicle to tip over.

Speculation that Elon Musk may merge SpaceX and xAI ahead of a potential IPO is reviving hopes—and concerns—about AI convergence across his companies, including Tesla.

SpaceX's Starlink is trying to recruit 'on-the-ground growth owners' in 10 states who will be charged with helping increase Starlink's customer base.

Walter Isaacson, Perella Weinberg advisory partner, joins 'The Exchange' to discuss Isaacson's reaction to the deal between SpaceX and OpenAI, a potential IPO for the companies and much more.

SpaceX says it wants to deploy an astronomical number of data centres in orbit to supply power for artificial intelligence, but the proposal might not be entirely serious

SpaceX's path to launching its massive Starship rocket from Florida's Space Coast passed another hurdle Friday after the Federal Aviation Administration released results of its nearly two-year long environmental review for launch plans from Kennedy Space Center.
