Elon Musk’s xAI Targets $200B Valuation in New Funding Round

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence venture xAI is reportedly pursuing a massive new funding round that could value the company at up to $200 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter, months after the company secured $10 billion in financing, evenly split between debt and equity.

Despite Musk’s public statement on X claiming “xAI is not seeking funding right now,” multiple sources, including Bloomberg, indicate active discussions are underway for an additional $10 billion raise. The apparent contradiction between Musk’s comments and internal fundraising efforts highlights the complex dynamics surrounding one of tech’s most-watched AI startups.

The funding push follows xAI’s recent launch of its Grok 4 AI model, which Musk boldly claimed outperforms “almost all graduate students across all disciplines” during a Wednesday livestream. Independent benchmarks suggest Grok 4 does compete favourably against leading models from OpenAI and other established AI firms, potentially justifying the ambitious valuation target.

Bloomberg reports that xAI deliberately timed its fundraising efforts to coincide with Grok 4’s release, using the model’s strong performance to attract investors. If successful, the combined $20 billion in new capital would position xAI among the most valuable private AI companies globally.

The Financial Times first reported details of the financing discussions, noting the $200 billion valuation would eclipse most competitors in the red-hot AI sector. However, scepticism remains about whether xAI can justify such a premium valuation given its relatively recent market entry compared to established players.

Industry analysts suggest the funding could accelerate xAI’s infrastructure expansion and talent acquisition as it battles for supremacy in the increasingly competitive AI landscape. The company’s unique positioning at the intersection of AI and social media through its X platform integration continues to differentiate it from pure-play AI competitors.
