"xAI and X's futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent," Musk said in a post on X, adding that the combined company would be valued at $80 billion. The billionaire's AI startup, which was launched in 2023, recently raised $6 billion from investors at a valuation of $40 billion, sources have told Reuters. --- Thanks for reading! <cite>CRON posted [p:984512638] in Twitter/X ...

Alucard188 03/28/25 6:29:09 PM #15:	Lovely tight integration of all of that algorithmic juice for xAI. As for the specifics of it, banks had been getting quite bullish on being able to offload Twitter's debt. No doubt this was part of the apparatus to do so. They made sure to structure it to a company that had far more intrinsic value than a social media platform. I'm sure it's all completely above board in that respect. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:984513120] in Twitter/X ...
