Elon Musk has recently revealed via a post on X that his AI start-up, xAI has acquired the social media platform X.
In it, he states, “xAI and X’s futures are intertwined.” With this takeover, Musk plans on integrating the data, computing, talent, distribution, and models that the two organizations have created independently.
This move, he hopes, will combine xAI’s advanced AI capabilities and X’s reach.
“The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.”
These are bold claims by a man known as a visionary.
