SpaceXAI may be testing Grok music generation inside Imagine
An X user posted an early Android preview; SpaceXAI's published Imagine materials describe image and video generation with audio, not a standalone music tool.

Why it matters
If the preview reflects a real test, SpaceXAI is extending Imagine toward a broader media-creation workflow. The clip does not establish standalone song generation, product availability, or how Grok would compete with dedicated music tools.
Elon Musk's SpaceXAI may be testing music generation inside Grok Imagine, an apparent expansion from image and video creation to standalone tracks. The post does not establish a public release, and SpaceXAI's published Imagine materials do not describe a standalone music generator.
The company at the center of the claim was founded by Elon Musk. xAI's stated aim was to build AI that could help "understand the universe." SpaceX said it acquired xAI on February 2nd, 2026. SpaceXAI now offers Grok across chat, voice, images and video, while Imagine is its creative tool.
The post, published on September 26th by an X user posting as @blankspeaker, describes the clip as a "very early look on Android." The user says the system made different kinds of tracks from prompts, but also says they had to add "a thing or 2" to the result. Since the poster says they added material, the clip is not a controlled demonstration of an unedited output. The post does not identify the prompts, name the model or establish whether the audio was produced separately from a video.
Imagine already makes audio for video
SpaceXAI's Imagine documentation describes image creation and editing alongside video generation and editing. Its Video 1.5 release, published in June, says the model generates sound effects, ambience and dialogue in the same pass as video. That gives Imagine an existing audio capability. A user-directed music generator would be a separate feature.
A useful music feature would let users request music without making a video, with controls over style, length, vocals, revisions and export. The post offers no verified detail on those capabilities, licensing, attribution or commercial-use rights. It also does not say whether the interface is part of an internal build, a limited test or a feature headed for general availability.
The competition is already built around songs
A standalone Grok music tool would enter a category where products such as Suno and Udio already let users describe songs in text and generate tracks. Suno's product materials describe vocals, lyrics, full arrangements and tools for working with stems; Udio's help materials describe prompt-based song creation and extensions. A Grok feature would need to show how it compares on editing, repeatability, track length and rights.
Imagine could bundle music with image and video creation. Creators already making short clips may value a single workflow for visuals and soundtrack. The preview offers no evidence that Grok makes better music than dedicated services, or that the workflow exists beyond the clip.
SpaceXAI has also added audio to its developer offerings with Grok Voice Transcribe 2, which RuntimeWire covered. Music generation would add another creative-audio use, though the preview does not show a connection between the products.
If SpaceXAI adds music to Imagine, Grok could become a place to make media as well as a model accessed through chat or APIs. That could appeal to creators making short videos, but the post shows neither an integrated workflow nor general availability. The public evidence supports a narrower conclusion: an outside user has shared an early Android preview they say shows Grok music generation, while SpaceXAI's documented Imagine offering remains centered on images and video with generated audio.
