As a bold departure from Open AI, the company he co-founded, Elon Musk launched xAI last year, driven by philosophical differences on how to harness the potential of artificial intelligence for profit. The venture’s star product, a cutting-edge chatbot named Grok, taps into social media posts on X, the revamped Twitter network owned by Musk himself. This unique approach empowers Grok with access to real-time data, setting it apart from conventional chatbots.

Notably, investors in both Musk’s brainchild and his $44 billion Twitter takeover share common ground. Heavyweights like Larry Ellison, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Fidelity Management & Research Co., and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal have thrown their weight behind Musk’s endeavors.

In a strategic move, Musk disclosed in November that equity investors in X will hold a significant stake in xAI—specifically 25%. This unconventional arrangement invites investors to mirror their X commitments by investing at least 25% of that amount in xAI. For instance, a $10 billion investment in X opens the door for a $2.5 billion or more investment in xAI.

The finalization of terms between Musk and investors is on the horizon, with expectations that the agreement will be sealed within the next couple of weeks. Interestingly, some parties are exploring avenues beyond equity shares, delving into possibilities of acquiring computing power. This shift, if realized, could prove advantageous for venture firms’ portfolio companies, particularly those reliant on intensive data processing for pioneering advancements in artificial intelligence. As Musk continues to redefine the AI landscape, the unfolding weeks promise intriguing developments at the intersection of innovation and investment.
