- Elon Musk announced plans to rename SpaceXAI as SpaceXSI but provided no timeline or details about the process.
- Donald Trump's September 29 executive order directs federal agencies to officially use “super intelligence” and “SI” instead of “artificial intelligence” and “AI.”
- The order tasks the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology with proposing legislative language for a federal definition within 60 days.
- Ahead of Monday's trading, SpaceX shares were up 0.3% premarket at $159.47, about 18% above their June IPO price of $135.
From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term 'super' as opposed to artificial. So it's super intelligence,— Trump said, according to Reuters
