埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的XAI创业公司以$ 33B的价格收购了平台X（以前为Twitter）

令人惊讶的举动，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的XAI创业公司刚刚以低调的330亿美元的估值获得了该平台X（以前称为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.

根据周五的宣布，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）在重视该平台为330亿美元的交易中取得了令人惊讶的举动。

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

这是社交媒体平台的动荡时期，该平台于今年早些时候从Twitter重命名为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.

这位亿万富翁在X帖子中说，他的XAI公司的总价值现在为800亿美元，而社交媒体平台X（以前为Twitter）的价值为330亿美元。

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的价值为450亿美元，包括120亿美元的债务。马斯克补充说，XAI购买X是通过全股交易完成的。

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.

合并后新成立的公司Xai Holdings的价值超过1000亿美元，不包括债务。摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）担任该交易的唯一银行家，代表双方。

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·马斯克（Elon Musk）分享说，Xai和X的未来现已紧密相关。通过将Xai的尖端AI技术与X的庞大受众和资源相结合，他认为这一举动将为两家公司提供巨大的潜力。由于Musk拥有X和XAI，因此这笔交易可能是股票互换，X投资者获得了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.

两家公司都有共同的投资者，包括Andreessen Horowitz，红杉资本，Fidelity，Vy Capital和沙特阿拉伯的王国控股公司等风险投资公司。

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

马斯克担任X首席执行官的琳达·亚卡里诺（Linda Yaccarino）在周五宣布的消息后在一篇文章中写道：“未来不能更加明亮。”

“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的创始人Paolo Pescatore表示：“考虑到当前对AI，数据中心和计算的投资的趋势的当前趋势，这一举动似乎是明智的。”

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·马斯克（Elon Musk）的AI初创公司XAI成立于今年早些时候，最近获得了60亿美元的资金，其估值达到400亿美元。

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.

今年早些时候，马斯克以440亿美元的价格收购了Twitter，重点是削减成本并减少平台的内容审核。此举导致广告收入显着下降。

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

同时，Musk的Xai Startup是Openai的新兴竞争对手，一直使用X用户的数据来推广其聊天机器人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党事业捐款近3亿美元为2024年竞选活动捐款后，马斯克被任命为政府效率部（DOGE）的负责人，在那里他专注于削减政府工作，减少支出和退缩法规。

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.

这个职位使马斯克有能力进行改变，这可能使他的商业帝国受益。随着特朗普重新上任和马斯克现在的行政部门，X已成为保持特朗普政府最新消息的首选平台。

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

马斯克还使用X与政府效率部分享有关其工作的最新信息。
