Elon Musk has firmly rejected reports that SpaceX presented a prototype of an artificial intelligence-focused handset to investors prior to its initial public offering.
The Wall Street Journal had claimed the aerospace giant showcased the device to stakeholders as part of its pitch for the blockbuster listing.
Musk responded to the allegations on social media, labeling the report "utterly false."
The clarification arrives as SpaceX navigates the aftermath of a record-breaking IPO that valued the company at unprecedented levels.
The listing marked a significant pivot for the firm, which is increasingly positioning itself around an artificial intelligence-driven space infrastructure strategy rather than traditional launch services alone.
Investors have been closely monitoring the company's post-listing communications for signals on how it intends to deploy capital and expand its technological footprint.
The denial helps separate fact from speculation regarding SpaceX's product roadmap.
