California: Elon Musk just pulled off another headline-snatching power move—his AI venture, xAI, has acquired X (formerly Twitter) in a stunning $45 billion all-stock deal, debt included.
In true Musk fashion, the announcement came not via a press release, but through a cryptic post on X:
“xAI and X’s futures are intertwined… Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent.”
Translation? Musk just merged his AI brainchild with his social media megaphone to form a new data powerhouse—one he claims is now worth a jaw-dropping $80 billion.
Launched in 2023, xAI has been anything but quiet. The startup recently raked in a $6 billion funding round, pushing its valuation to $40 billion, according to insider sources.
Now, by absorbing X into the fold, Musk is going full Iron Man—melding AI models with live, global-scale data from one of the world’s most chaotic platforms.
Critics are already sounding alarms over data privacy and unchecked influence, but fans are calling it a bold leap toward building the “everything app.”
Whether it’s genius or madness (or both), one thing is clear:
Musk just turned the AI and social media game on its head—again.
