OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly explored raising significant capital to acquire or partner with a rocket company, a move that could have created direct competition with Elon Musk’s SpaceX. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Altman held discussions with at least one emerging rocket manufacturer, Stoke Space, beginning in the summer of 2025 and continuing with increased momentum into the fall.
Sources familiar with the matter said the proposals involved OpenAI making a series of equity investments that, over time, could have secured the company a controlling stake in Stoke Space. Such an investment strategy would have required billions of dollars in funding and marked a major expansion for OpenAI beyond its core artificial intelligence initiatives.
While the talks signaled Altman’s interest in entering the commercial space sector, individuals close to OpenAI now indicate that the discussions are no longer active. If the venture had moved forward, it would have positioned Altman in direct competition with Musk, who founded SpaceX and has maintained a complex and sometimes contentious relationship with OpenAI since departing the organization.
Industry analysts note that interest from a major AI leader in the space launch market highlights the growing overlap between advanced computing, satellite deployment, and next-generation aerospace technology. Companies like SpaceX rely heavily on AI-driven systems for navigation, optimization, and autonomous operations—making the potential OpenAI–Stoke Space collaboration particularly noteworthy.
Although the effort appears to have stalled, the talks underscore Altman’s ongoing ambition to expand OpenAI’s influence across emerging technology sectors. As AI continues to integrate with space exploration, satellite networks, and global communications, any future move by OpenAI into aerospace would likely generate significant attention from both the tech and space industries.
