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.
特斯拉股票代號（納斯達克代碼：TSLA）和 SpaceX 首席執行官伊隆·馬斯克在 X 平台上（既往爲 Twitter）發起了一項投票，詢問這家電動汽車巨頭是否應將50億美元投資於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?"
發生了什麼：週二，馬斯克發佈了這項投票，旨在在特斯拉投資 xAI 之前“試水”。他的問題是：“假設多個可靠的外部投資者確定了估值，特斯拉應該將50億美元投資於 xAI 嗎？”
He also said that for this to come to fulfillment approval of the board and a shareholders' vote is needed.
他還表示，爲此需要董事會的批准和股東的投票同意。
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.
距投票關閉還有23小時，已經有近17萬人投票。截至撰寫本文時，超過70％的選票贊成此次投資提案，而其餘選民則持反對意見。

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.
爲什麼它很重要：馬斯克的此舉並不完全令人驚訝。去年11月，馬斯克表示，他有意探索特斯拉和 xAI 之間的潛在合作關係，這是在 X 平台上的投資者建議後的決定。
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，馬斯克強調，特斯拉應該被視爲一家人工智能或機器人公司，而不僅僅是一家汽車公司。
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.
據報道，xAI 吸引了大量前特斯拉員工，引發了爭議和指責，指責馬斯克利用特斯拉爲其其他企業招攬人才。
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Tesla also reported second-quarter revenue of $25.5 billion, marking a 2% increase year-over-year. This figure surpassed the Street consensus estimate of $24.73 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
與此同時，週二，特斯拉還公佈了第二季度營業收入爲255億美元，同比增長2％。根據 Benzinga Pro 的數據，這一數字超過了市場共識估計的247.3億美元。
