Elon Musk has officially merged his AI startup xAI with the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in an all-stock transaction. The deal, announced on Friday, values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, or $45 billion including debt. This move combines two of Musk's prominent companies, aiming to create a unified AI-social media powerhouse.
Musk stated that the future of xAI and X are now "intertwined," and that this combination will unlock immense potential. The integration will combine data, models, compute, distribution, and talent from both companies. xAI's Grok chatbot is already integrated into X and utilizes the platform's vast user data for training. The combined company will focus on delivering smarter, more meaningful experiences while seeking truth and advancing knowledge.
