Elon Musk merges Xai with X: A revolution for artificial intelligence!

Ort, USA - Elon Musk announced today to merge his AI company Xai with the social media platform X. The takeover takes place in a stock transaction in a volume of $ 45 billion, which corresponds to around 41.72 billion euros, including the debt taken over. Musk emphasizes that the future of Xai is closely interwoven with that of X, which underlines the strategic importance of this merger. The new, combined company is estimated at a total value of $ 80 billion.

Xai recently received a financing of $ 6 billion from investors, the company being rated $ 40 billion. This follows the purchase of X by Musk in 2022 for $ 44 billion, which he completed to take X from the stock exchange.

advantages of the merger for AI development

Musk also announced that the merger also has legal reasons to facilitate the use of user data for training AI models. X, previously known as Twitter, delivers user data such as texts, images and videos of millions of users. This data is crucial for the development of AI-based chatbots that Xai produces.

By merging teams, technology, data centers and employees of both companies, not only efficiency is increased, but also the opportunity to train advanced AI models. Musk also sees the takeover as a way to calm investors who have invested in X, since the platform has lost value and advertisers since its transfer in 2022.

Open questions about the evaluation of X

Musk points out that X is currently to have a value of $ 33 billion, but this is difficult to verify because the shares are not acted publicly and therefore no detailed financial reports are available. An investment company had estimated the value of X at around $ 10 billion at the end of 2022, which shows the uncertainty about the actual evaluation.

The step to take over X takes place against the background of a failed commandment by Musk for Openai, which was rejected in early February 2025. With a consortium, Musk offered $ 97.4 billion for control over Openai, which, however, decided to maintain its independence. Openai, known for the publication of the popular AI application Chatgpt, is planning a greater profit orientation with the support of large investors such as Microsoft.

The developments around Musk companies are part of a continuous boom in the field of artificial intelligence, which is fueled by the success of chatt and similar applications. Future steps from Musk and his activities are therefore being followed with great interest.
