Elon Musk’s SpaceX is now actively looking to hire some world-class engineers. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has now issued a public recruitment appeal, urging “world-class engineers and physicists” to join the company’s newly branded SpaceXAI division. Musk said that he will personally review applications, asking candidates to email three bullet points which demonstrate exceptional ability even if they have ‘zero prior experience in AI.” In series of posts on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) Musk wrote, “SpaceX is actively hiring world-class engineers/physicists for SpaceXAI, even if you have zero prior experience in AI. Smart humans figure it out fast. Please send an email with ~3 bullet points demonstrating evidence of exceptional ability to ai_eng@spacex.com.”“If you’ve made a very complex thing do useful work, that’s a major plus. I will be reviewing all emails that pass reasonable sanity checks personally,” added Musk.
SpaceX recruitment drive followed by IPO filling
This hiring push at SpaceX came just hours after SpaceX filed for an initial public offering (IPO) that could become the largest in history, targeting a valuable of $1.75 trillion and a Nasdaq listing under the ticker SPCX. The investors were surprised to see artificial intelligence positioned as a major growth engine alongside rockets and satellites in the company’s S-1 filing.While SpaceX is best known for reusable rockets and the Starlink satellite network, the IPO documents revealed ambitious plans in AI infrastructure, orbital computing, and advanced technology projects. Musk’s former startup xAI has been integrated into SpaceX’s ecosystem, now operating under the SpaceXAI banner. The company is pitching Wall Street not just on space exploration, but on a vision that blends AI, space, and massive computing networks.According to Reuters, SpaceX could begin its IPO roadshow on June 4, price the offering by June 11, and start trading as early as June 12. Musk’s recruitment drive may therefore be one of the earliest signals of how the company intends to deploy fresh capital raised from the market.
