The source text directly confirms both key elements of the claim: (1) xAI was acquired by SpaceX, and (2) this occurred in February 2026 (specifically February 02, 2026). The acquisition announcement is featured in the 'Latest news' section of the official x.ai website. The claim's characterization of xAI as a 'subsidiary' is a reasonable legal interpretation of an acquisition, though the source uses the term 'acquired' rather than explicitly stating 'subsidiary.' The claim about previous independent operation is also consistent with the timeline shown (xAI existed and operated independently from July 2023 through January 2026 before the February 2026 acquisition).
