Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, is poised to close a $5 billion funding round, which will double its valuation to $50 billion within six months. Investors from Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, now known as X, will receive 25% of xAI shares. This arrangement is expected to provide substantial financial benefits to these investors, potentially offsetting unrealized losses from their initial investment in Twitter. The rapid increase in xAI's valuation has created a significant windfall for these backers, marking a notable development in the tech investment landscape.
