埃隆·马斯克否认有关 SpaceX AI 手机原型的报道

The Wall Street Journal reports that SpaceX showed investors a ‘handset-like prototype’ that was slimmer than an iPhone. 《华尔街日报》报道称，SpaceX 向投资者展示了一款比 iPhone 更纤薄的“手机状原型机”。

Elon Musk says a report about a SpaceX AI phone prototype is “utterly false.” The report, published on Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, says SpaceX showed off a “handset-like prototype” to some investors before launching its record-breaking initial public offering in June. 埃隆·马斯克表示，有关 SpaceX AI 手机原型的报道是“完全虚假的”。《华尔街日报》周三发布的报道称，SpaceX 在 6 月份启动创纪录的首次公开募股（IPO）之前，曾向部分投资者展示了一款“手机状原型机”。

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. 据《华尔街日报》报道，该设备“比 iPhone 更纤薄”，且据称将搭载高通骁龙芯片。此外，它还将使用其自研的 AI 操作系统，并由 SpaceX 旗下的 xAI 提供功能支持。

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. 上周，《金融时报》报道称，SpaceX 首席运营官格温·肖特韦尔（Gwynne Shotwell）告诉投资者，公司正在考虑在美国推出一项连接其星链（Starlink）卫星网络的移动服务。与此同时，一些分析师推测 SpaceX 可能会收购 T-Mobile。星链目前是 SpaceX 唯一盈利的业务。

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. 马斯克过去曾对制造手机的想法不屑一顾，但并未完全排除这种可能性。去年在宾夕法尼亚州的一次活动中，马斯克曾表示：“制造手机的想法让我生不如死”，但他补充道：“如果我们不得不制造手机，我们也会做，但我们尽量不去制造手机。”今年 2 月，在路透社报道 SpaceX 正在为星链开发手机后，马斯克曾表示 SpaceX “并没有在开发手机”。
