Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, raised $10 billion in debt and equity, with $5 billion acquired through debt and another $5 billion in a strategic equity transaction confirmed by Morgan Stanley.
The funding strategy of combining debt and equity aims to lessen overall capital costs and provide xAI with significant financial resources to support the development of advanced AI solutions, including a large data center and the Grok platform.
xAI's recent funding round follows a $6 billion capital raise in December from notable investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Blackrock, Fidelity, and others, bringing the total capital raised by xAI to approximately $17 billion.
