Assuming the board of $TSLA approves @elonmusk proposal to buy $5 billion worth of XAI, then Tesla shareholder should vote to approve it. Here is why.
@elonmusk told us that the top AI people wanted to work in a focused startup like XAI. They did not want to be in a larger corporation. This can been seen that the competing AI leaders are OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, Safe Superintelligence. Dedicated AI companies.
Who was Elon Musk able to attract and recruit before? Ilya Sutskever and Ilya and his team made the huge breakthrough to scale large language models. Ilya has his own company working to Safe Superintelligence. Elon recruited Andre Karpathy.
The question is not can XAI make a competitive model to GPT5 and become 10X the value of today. It obviously can and is on track to do it. Which means XAI is already a bargain? Can Elon and his XAI team be leaders in Superintelligence? Does Elon have ideas for scalable products beyond humanoid bot?
Weeks ago people sold off $100 billion of Value off Tesla for fear Elon would take his new AI ideas elsewhere. Do you want to pay $5 billion for some of Elon’s best AI ideas?

It’s hard to keep up with all the changes and technical innovation. Sometimes it feels like trying to drink water from a fire hydrant.
Most TSLA investors aren’t Accredited Investors so the only way they can invest in X.ai is through a public company like Tesla.
The AI field is cluttered, expensive, crowded, requiring of great energy and (now expensive) talent, and does not appear to be likely to assist the public/ low-level entry work tiers at even the level of daily usage/ usefulness of the Google Search Field/ dedicated bots. Also, it’s not just tippy-top talent but the depth of the management, tech support, and ‘total team aggregate experience’. That being said, he may not get the same amount of seamless integration into robos and cars and paks/ grid by out-sourcing. A long hard expensive road of marginal and relentless research, onerous market penetration, and finding brand awareness – and if China gets a whiff of the ‘special sauce’ -> they’ll replicate it and ram it through, totalitarian style, at a fraction of cost and timing.
