SpaceX in talks to buy AI training data from failed startups

The notable signal here is not SpaceX's AI ambitions but the emergence of a secondary market for distressed startup assets, where training data — not code or talent — is the salvageable value. It matters for failed founders and their backers, who may recover something from wind-downs, and for data-rich AI developers seeking alternatives to licensing or scraping. The open question is whether this becomes a repeatable channel or a one-off opportunistic move; the absence of disclosed counterparties, scale and terms makes that impossible to judge yet.
