Elon Musk’s xAI said it raised $20 billion in a funding round, exceeding its prior target of $15 billion.
CNBC reported in November that a financing round would value the artificial intelligence startup at about $230 billion.
Investors included Nvidia and Cisco Investments as well as long-time Musk company backers Valor Equity Partners, Stepstone Group, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Qatar Investment Authority, MGX and Baron Capital Group.

Nvidia is basically the SoftBank for backstopping these dumbass AI projects
People point to AOL and Time Warner merger being the top of the dot com bubble, feels like Nvidia is more or less doing the same but the market is fine with it cause they have so much goddamn cash
Any AI with musk like Grok is going to come out a loser of this. AI is going to need a lot of business adoption to make work financially and after mechahitler and now the teen girl undressing scandals no business is ever going to touch adopting this with a 10 foot pole. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Musk associated AI products banned in other countries like the EU either due to his stupidity. AI needs to at least try to be neutral like chatgpt or gemini to have a chance.
Maybe Musk thinks xAI will have the online hate speech bot market cornered, but I doubt that’ll be worth 230M.
The circle jerk continues
Cisco joining the Circle jerk now? Calls I guess
Another $20 billion to have AI undress underage girls.
Zirp was the death of this country
Not surprising the rich wanna invest in grok now they know it can generate the images they want most
And the grift continues, any automation you pump this much money will be super cool and helpful, but AI and especially AGI is an another wall street grift, using Silicon Valley lizards that hate humanity.
Absolute waste of money.
More circular investing between Nvidia and it’s biggest customers. The increasing interdependencies sure increase the risk profile of the whole sector…
