The device was “slimmer than an iPhone,” and they were told it would run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, according to the WSJ. It would also reportedly use its own AI-enabled operating system with features powered by the SpaceX-owned xAI.

Last week, the Financial Times reported that SpaceX chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell told investors that the company is considering launching a mobile service in the US that would connect to its Starlink satellite network. Meanwhile, some analysts speculate SpaceX could acquire T-Mobile. Starlink is currently SpaceX’s only profitable business.

Musk has brushed off the idea of creating a phone in the past, but didn’t rule it out completely. During an event in Pennsylvania last year, Musk said, “the idea of making a phone makes me want to die,” but added, “if we have to make a phone, we will, but we will aspire not to make a phone.” In February, Musk said SpaceX is “not developing a phone” after Reuters reported that the company is working on a phone for Starlink.
