Looks like Starmind is the name of Elon's orbital datacenter network.

STARMIND was just trademarked by @xai.
Will this be the official name for the SpaceX AI satellite constellation?

Elon Musk confirms Starmind as the name for a planned SpaceX AI satellite constellation
Story Overview
Elon Musk's one-word confirmation links xAI's recent trademark filing to SpaceX's earlier FCC plans for an orbital AI compute network, moving the Starmind concept from speculation into named territory while leaving every operational question untouched.

Open Question
Scale and timing stay unspecified
The January FCC filing sketches a constellation of up to one million solar-powered satellites, yet the naming announcement supplies no compute figures, bandwidth targets, or deployment windows.
Industry Shift
Cross-company branding tightens
Trademark held by xAI paired with SpaceX infrastructure points to closer overlap between the two efforts, though the division of actual work and ownership has not been clarified.
Sentiment
Many users liked the Starmind name for SpaceX's planned AI satellite constellation because it evokes a network of minds in orbit, while others mocked the repeated Star branding or warned it would worsen space debris and interference.

Elon confirms "Starmind" will be the official name of @SpaceX's AI satellite constellation.
Earlier this year, SpaceX filed a request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 1 million AI satellites.

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk @SpaceX And what might be the consequences of all of these satellites in space? Does anyone ever think about the precautionary principle? Do we now just do things without even thinking about the consequences?

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX McDonald's learned years ago you can attach the prefix "Mc" in front of almost anything - Mcnugget, McFlurry, McRib, McMuffin. Spacex is doing the same - Starlink, Starship, Starfall, Starmind...

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk @SpaceX Everything is Networking.
2000s → The Network is the Computer 2010s → The Network is Social 2020s → The Network is Neural 2030s → The Network is Orbital
Racks, energy, and compute are going to space.

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX In for all the geniuses explaining to Elon he doesn't understand how radiators work.
