埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的XAI創業公司以$ 33B的價格收購了平台X（以前為Twitter）

令人驚訝的舉動，埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的XAI創業公司剛剛以低調的330億美元的估值獲得了該平台X（以前稱為Twitter）

Elon Musk has made a surprising move by acquiring his own startup, xAI, in a deal that values the platform at $33 billion, according to a Friday announcement.

根據周五的宣布，埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）在重視該平台為330億美元的交易中取得了令人驚訝的舉動。

This follows a turbulent period for the social media platform, which was renamed X from Twitter earlier this year.

這是社交媒體平台的動盪時期，該平台於今年早些時候從Twitter重命名為X。

The billionaire said in an X post that the total value of his xAI company is now $80 billion, while the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is valued at $33 billion.

這位億萬富翁在X帖子中說，他的XAI公司的總價值現在為800億美元，而社交媒體平台X（以前為Twitter）的價值為330億美元。

He noted that the value of X is $45 billion when including $12 billion of debt. Musk added that the purchase of X by xAI was done through an all-stock transaction.

他指出，X的價值為450億美元，包括120億美元的債務。馬斯克補充說，XAI購買X是通過全股交易完成的。

XAI Holdings, the newly formed company following the merger, is valued at over $100 billion, excluding debt. Morgan Stanley served as the sole banker for the deal, representing both sides.

合併後新成立的公司Xai Holdings的價值超過1000億美元，不包括債務。摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）擔任該交易的唯一銀行家，代表雙方。

Elon Musk shared that the futures of xAI and X are now closely linked. By combining xAI’s cutting-edge AI technology with X’s vast audience and resources, he believes that this move will unlock huge potential for both companies. Since Musk owns both X and xAI, the deal is likely a stock swap, with X investors getting xAI shares.

埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）分享說，Xai和X的未來現已緊密相關。通過將Xai的尖端AI技術與X的龐大受眾和資源相結合，他認為這一舉動將為兩家公司提供巨大的潛力。由於Musk擁有X和XAI，因此這筆交易可能是股票互換，X投資者獲得了XAI股票。

Both the companies have mutual investors including venture firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Fidelity, Vy Capital, and Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Holding Co.

兩家公司都有共同的投資者，包括Andreessen Horowitz，紅杉資本，Fidelity，Vy Capital和沙特阿拉伯的王國控股公司等風險投資公司。

Linda Yaccarino, whom Musk hired as CEO of X, wrote in a post after Friday’s announcement, “The future could not be brighter.”

馬斯克擔任X首席執行官的琳達·亞卡里諾（Linda Yaccarino）在周五宣布的消息後在一篇文章中寫道：“未來不能更加明亮。”

“The move appears sensible, considering the current trend of increased investments in AI, data centres, and computing,” said analyst Paolo Pescatore, founder of PP Foresight.

PP Foresight的創始人Paolo Pescatore表示：“考慮到當前對AI，數據中心和計算的投資的趨勢的當前趨勢，這一舉動似乎是明智的。”

Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, which was founded earlier this year, recently secured $6 billion in funding, bringing its valuation to $40 billion.

埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的AI初創公司XAI成立於今年早些時候，最近獲得了60億美元的資金，其估值達到400億美元。

Earlier this year, Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, focusing on cutting costs and reducing content moderation at the platform. This move led to a significant drop in advertising revenue.

今年早些時候，馬斯克以440億美元的價格收購了Twitter，重點是削減成本並減少平台的內容審核。此舉導致廣告收入顯著下降。

Meanwhile, Musk’s xAI startup, which is an emerging rival to OpenAI, has been promoting its chatbot, Grok, using data from X users.

同時，Musk的Xai Startup是Openai的新興競爭對手，一直使用X用戶的數據來推廣其聊天機器人Grok。

After donating nearly $300 million to Trump and other Republican causes for the 2024 campaign, Musk was appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he is focused on cutting government jobs, reducing spending, and rolling back regulations.

在向特朗普和其他共和黨事業捐款近3億美元為2024年競選活動捐款後，馬斯克被任命為政府效率部（DOGE）的負責人，在那裡他專注於削減政府工作，減少支出和退縮法規。

This position gives Musk the power to make changes that could benefit his business empire. With Trump back in office and Musk now in the executive branch, X has become the go-to platform for staying updated on the Trump administration.

這個職位使馬斯克有能力進行改變，這可能使他的商業帝國受益。隨著特朗普重新上任和馬斯克現在的行政部門，X已成為保持特朗普政府最新消息的首選平台。

Musk is also using X to share updates on his work with the Department of Government Efficiency.

馬斯克還使用X與政府效率部分享有關其工作的最新信息。
