Elon Musk Is Polling X And Asking If Tesla Should Invest $5B In Grok Parent XAI: 'This Is Just To Test The Waters'
Telsa Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk initiated a poll on X, formerly Twitter, asking if the EV giant should invest $5 billion in his AI company and Grok-parent, xAI.
特斯拉股票代号（纳斯达克代码：TSLA）和 SpaceX 首席执行官伊隆·马斯克在 X 平台上（既往为 Twitter）发起了一项投票，询问这家电动汽车巨头是否应将50亿美元投资于他的人工智能公司和 Grok 的母公司 xAI。
What Happened: On Tuesday, Musk posted the poll intending to "test the waters" before Tesla ivests into xAI. His question was: "Should Tesla invest $5B into xAI, assuming the valuation is set by several credible outside investors?"
发生了什么：周二，马斯克发布了这项投票，旨在在特斯拉投资 xAI 之前“试水”。他的问题是：“假设多个可靠的外部投资者确定了估值，特斯拉应该将50亿美元投资于 xAI 吗？”
He also said that for this to come to fulfillment approval of the board and a shareholders' vote is needed.
他还表示，为此需要董事会的批准和股东的投票同意。
With 23 hours remaining for the poll to close, nearly 170,000 votes have been cast. At the time of writing, the majority, over 70%, are in favor of the proposed investment, while the remaining voters are against it.
距投票关闭还有23小时，已经有近17万人投票。截至撰写本文时，超过70％的选票赞成此次投资提案，而其余选民则持反对意见。
Should Tesla invest $5B into @xAI, assuming the valuation is set by several credible outside investors?

Why It Matters: This move by Musk is not entirely surprising. Last year in November, Musk expressed his intention to explore a potential partnership between Tesla and xAI, following suggestions from investors on X.
为什么它很重要：马斯克的此举并不完全令人惊讶。去年11月，马斯克表示，他有意探索特斯拉和 xAI 之间的潜在合作关系，这是在 X 平台上的投资者建议后的决定。
In April this year, Musk highlighted that Tesla should be recognized as an AI or robotics company rather than just an auto company.
今年4月，马斯克强调，特斯拉应该被视为一家人工智能或机器人公司，而不仅仅是一家汽车公司。
Previously, it was reported that xAI has seen an influx of former Tesla employees, sparking controversy and accusations of Musk using Tesla as a talent pool for his other ventures.
据报道，xAI 吸引了大量前特斯拉员工，引发了争议和指责，指责马斯克利用特斯拉为其其他企业招揽人才。
