Elon Musk’s AI startup, X.AI Corp., is reportedly in talks to raise $3 billion to $4 billion in funding, aiming for a valuation of $18 billion, according to materials sent to investors as reported by Bloomberg. The pitch deck, spanning roughly 20 pages, has made its rounds among Silicon Valley’s venture capital community.
Sources close to Elon Musk have been engaging with their networks to gauge interest in participating in the funding round, indicating substantial interest from potential investors, Bloomberg’s report noted.
While specifics regarding the terms and dollar values of the funding round remain undisclosed, the report suggests that these details are subject to change. Earlier reports by The Wall Street Journal provided some insights into the funding, but uncertainties persist.
The pitch deck emphasizes Elon Musk’s successful track record at Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. It highlights Musk’s involvement in providing high-quality data from his social network, X, which xAI aims to leverage for training its AI models.
Access to high-quality data, particularly from Musk’s social network X, holds significant promise for xAI in building large language models vital for AI chatbots. This strategic advantage positions xAI to compete with well-funded entities like Microsoft-backed OpenAI in the AI space.
