SpaceXAI backs Omarchy, the controversial Linux distro, with $1.5 million in compute
SpaceXAI has announced its support for Omarchy, a controversial Linux distribution, by joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron. The company is donating $1.5 million worth of Grok tokens to David Heinemeier Hansson's Linux project. These tokens will primarily be utilized to accelerate development, review code, and patch bugs within the Omarchy project, according to Hansson's blog post detailing the partnership.
This marks the first time SpaceXAI has publicly backed a Linux distribution, unlike its previous focus on internal software development.

If Elon Musk and SpaceXAI were going to back any Linux distro, it seems obvious they’d back Omarchy . Today it was announced that SpaceXAI would be joining the Omacom Foundation, which oversees Omarchy, as a Founding Corporate Patron and donating $1.5 million worth of Grok tokens to David Heinemeier Hansson’s Linux project. According to Hansson’s blog post announcing the partnership, the tokens will primarily be used to accelerate development, review code, and patch bugs.
Hansson is the Danish entrepreneur known for creating Ruby on Rails and co-founding the company behind Basecamp. But he’s also becoming known for promoting anti-immigration policies through racist blog posts. In a July post , he compared immigrants to wolves and said, “When wolves get out of control, you shoot them.”
1Password previously found itself in hot water for contributing to Omarchy, as has Cloudflare. When asked about its contributions to Hansson’s Linux distro by Nilay Patel on the Decoder podcast, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said he didn’t think it was his job to “police different people’s political beliefs.”
