Elon Musk sold X social network: a new era is beginning with artificial intelligence
One of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world, Elon Musk, has sold his X (formerly Twitter) social network to the xAI startup. According to CNN, the total value of the deal is $45 billion, which includes $12 billion in debt. The main goal is to deeply integrate the platform with artificial intelligence technologies.
Why is the merger of X and xAI important?
According to Musk, after this agreement, the value of the X platform will reach $33 billion. On March 28, he wrote on his page:
“The future of xAI and X is interconnected.”
Musk stated that this merger will combine xAI's advanced artificial intelligence capabilities with X's large audience, "opening the door to great opportunities."
What changes for X users?
So far, Musk has said that there will not be significant changes in the X network. However, artificial intelligence technologies are already being implemented in the social network.
Currently, the Grok chatbot created by xAI has been integrated into X. This artificial intelligence offers functions such as providing real-time responses, making recommendations, and assisting in content creation.
Musk emphasized that the total value of the merged companies will be around $80 billion.
Musk's ambitions in the field of artificial intelligence
Elon Musk is seriously committed to becoming a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. At the beginning of 2024, he attempted to buy OpenAI for nearly $100 billion, offering $97.4 billion. However, the OpenAI board of directors rejected this offer.
After this rejection, Musk decided to carve his own path in the field of artificial intelligence and presented the Grok 3 model. This artificial intelligence chatbot is currently integrated for users of the X network and is becoming one of the platform's key features.
Elon Musk's merger of X and xAI is a significant step aimed at further integrating artificial intelligence technologies into societal life. In the coming years, the X social network could become one of the more interactive and intelligent platforms based on artificial intelligence.
For users, this news may offer new experiences that include enhanced AI features, personalized recommendations, and intelligent assistants. However, the widespread use of artificial intelligence also raises new questions regarding data security and information privacy.
