🕶️ Elon says hello to Moonbase Alpha

Stockholm-based HealthTech startup Loovi has raised €1 million to scale its AI-powered preventive health and longevity platform, which combines medical analysis, lab results, wearable data, and personalized guidance into a continuous, data-driven program. Founded in 2025, the company aims to shift healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive prevention, and will use the funding to further develop its technology and expand its market rollout.

Deep in the Atacama, the lithium powering our clean-energy future is quietly draining the desert, and this video reveals the stakes—and the tech that could stop it.

Elon Musk has unveiled a new grand vision for SpaceX and xAI following their merger, pitching a futuristic “Moonbase Alpha” concept centered on building AI data centers in orbit and eventually manufacturing massive space-based supercomputers on the moon. In an all-hands meeting, Musk framed the moon as the next step beyond Earth-orbiting data centers, imagining a lunar city that could harness solar energy at unprecedented scale and use a “mass driver” to launch AI satellites into deep space — a sci-fi-infused recruitment pitch aimed at energizing talent and giving xAI a bold identity beyond competing LLMs.

The moon base narrative also fills the gap left by SpaceX’s fading Mars colonization ambitions, which struggled to attract sustained funding and shifted toward more commercially viable projects like Starlink and NASA lunar contracts. While space-based data centers may have some long-term economic logic, mass-producing advanced computers on the moon would require dramatic cost reductions in space travel and infrastructure that don’t yet exist. Still, as with Musk’s past Mars rhetoric, the vision serves as a powerful storytelling device — one designed to inspire engineers, attract investors, and differentiate xAI in an increasingly crowded AI race.
