xAI is valued at $230 billion with support from Nvidia
Nvidia, Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, and other investors have backed Elon Musk's AI business, xAI, which recently announced the completion of a new $20 billion Series E investment round, valuing the company at over $200 billion.

The specifics:

With a stated worth of $230 billion, xAI is ranked third among frontier AI laboratories, significantly ahead of most rivals but behind Anthropic ($350 billion) and OpenAI ($500 billion).

With a third data center planned, the corporation is rapidly expanding its compute infrastructure in Memphis, bringing its total power capacity close to two gigawatts.

Additionally, xAI disclosed that Grok 5 is presently undergoing training and that new products connecting the chatbot, X, and its Colossus supercomputer would be shipped.

With xAI now joining OAI and Anthropic in the exclusive $200 billion+ valuation club, the AI financing conflicts show no signs of abating. Grok is positioned for a possible significant climb up the AI ladder thanks to Musk's distinct advantage of owning both the AI and the distribution platform (X), as well as expanded Tesla and Optimus integrations.
