支持埃隆·馬斯克收購Twitter的投資者據稱由於他的人工智能公司xAI估值上升而獲得了可觀的回報。這些投資者在xAI中持有25%的股份，預計將獲得可觀的收益。
What Happened: xAI, founded by Musk last year, is reportedly nearing the completion of a $5 billion fundraising round. This could potentially double its valuation to $50 billion within six months, offsetting some of the unrealized losses from the Twitter deal. Notable beneficiaries include Fidelity, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, and Jack Dorsey.
發生了什麼：埃隆·馬斯克去年創立的xAI據稱即將完成一輪50億美元的籌資計劃。這可能會在六個月內將其估值翻倍至500億美元，抵消一些從Twitter交易中未實現的損失。值得一提的受益者包括富達公司、甲骨文聯合創始人拉里·埃裏森、沙特王儲阿爾瓦利德·本·塔拉勒和傑克·多爾西。
The strategic intertwining of Musk's ventures, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX, underscores the benefits for those backing his enterprises. The latest funding round will bring xAI's total investment to approximately $11 billion, crucial for its AI model development and supercomputer infrastructure, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
馬斯克的公司，包括特斯拉公司（納斯達克代碼：TSLA）和spacex（臨時代碼），戰略性地相互交織，凸顯了支持他企業的好處。最新一輪融資將使xAI的總投資達到約110億美元，這對其人工智能模型發展和超級計算機基礎設施至關重要，據《金融時報》週三報道。

Why It Matters: The rise in xAI's valuation comes as the company seeks to raise up to $6 billion to acquire 100,000 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips for its Memphis data center. This move is part of xAI's strategy to bolster its AI capabilities and infrastructure.

Additionally, Cathie Wood's ARK Venture Fund has opened up investment opportunities in Musk's private ventures, including xAI, SpaceX, and the rebranded social media platform X. The ARK Venture Fund (NASDAQ:ARKVX) would give exposure to the companies, with xAI representing 1.5% of the portfolio.
