AI Daily+FollowMusk Wants Tesla to Invest in xAI — But He’s Putting It to a VoteSo Musk just dropped a casual bomb on X: he wants Tesla to invest in xAI (his new AI venture), but says it’s not up to him alone—it’s going to a shareholder vote. Apparently, he would’ve had Tesla invest already if it were solely his call. And considering xAI is reportedly aiming for a $200 billion valuation, this is no small thing. I’ve got mixed feelings on this. On one hand, yeah, xAI and Tesla could benefit from tighter integration—especially around self-driving tech. On the other, it feels a little… conflicted? Musk leading both, and now potentially funneling Tesla cash into his own startup? At least putting it to a shareholder vote adds some transparency. But let’s be real, Musk fans hold a lot of Tesla shares, so the outcome might be pretty obvious. Curious how other shareholders feel—smart synergy or self-dealing risk? #Tesla #xai #Tech #Musk 151Share
