    Elon Musk’s xAI has raised $6 billion in its latest funding round, pushing its total capital raised to $12 billion at a valuation of $50 billion, reports TechCrunch. The round, which involved 97 investors, followed a doubling of xAI’s valuation within six months and solidified the company’s position as a growing competitor in the AI sector.

    Major investors in this funding round include Nvidia, AMD, Andreessen Horowitz, Blackrock, Fidelity, Kingdom Holdings, and Sequoia Capital, among others. Only previous investors who backed Musk’s earlier ventures, such as the Twitter acquisition, could participate. The minimum investment per participant was $77,593, but the identities of most investors remain undisclosed.

    There is a club…

      Well Nvidia and AMD will get their money (and possibly some other investors money too) straight back in equipment purchases.
