Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has acquired social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in an all-stock deal, valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, including $12 billion in debt. Musk emphasized that merging xAI’s AI expertise with X’s vast reach will unlock significant potential. Despite X’s declining value since Musk’s $44 billion purchase in 2022, xAI’s valuation has surged alongside industry giants like Nvidia and OpenAI. The deal reflects Musk’s history of integrating his companies, akin to Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity.
