SpaceX is adopting a new nomenclature for its advanced computing division to mirror recent changes in United States government policy. Elon Musk announced the renaming of SpaceXAI to "SpaceXSI," stating that super intelligence is a superior term to artificial intelligence. This shift follows an executive order from President Trump that bans the terms "AI" and "Artificial Intelligence" in all official federal communications, directing agencies to use "Super Intelligence" or "SI" instead.
The directive sparked a registration surge for Slovenia's .si web domains, which reached 44,000 in September compared to approximately 2,000 in August, with one site, AI.si, listed for $700K. Reports indicate some insiders profited hundreds of millions of dollars from the shift. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom rejected the federal rebrand by ordering state agencies to continue using "artificial intelligence" and signing the No Robo Bosses Act to bar employers from using solely AI systems to fire or discipline staff.
