Elon Musk’s xAI Valued at $113B Amid $300M Secondary Share Sale

Elon Musk’s xAI Pursues $300M Secondary Stock Sale at $113B Valuation

 

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is preparing a secondary stock sale worth $300 million, valuing the company at $113 billion (~KRW 155 trillion). The stock sale comes shortly after Musk stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump, signaling his renewed focus on business ventures.

 

 

According to the Financial Times, the stock sale will allow existing employees to sell their shares to external investors. This is part of a broader effort, reportedly led by Morgan Stanley, to secure an additional $5 billion in funding through debt financing and high-yield bond issuance.

 

 

The $113 billion valuation echoes the value assigned to xAI during its acquisition of social media platform X in March 2025. At the time, xAI was valued at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, following Musk's 2022 takeover of Twitter (renamed X) for $44 billion.

 

 

Musk envisions strong synergy between xAI and X, leveraging X’s user data for AI model training and distribution. However, details of the corporate merger structure have yet to be revealed.

 

Meanwhile, Musk’s brain-tech startup, Neuralink, also announced it had raised $650 million in its latest funding round, bringing its valuation to $9 billion, more than double the $3.5 billion valuation in 2023. Major investors include Ark Investment, Sequoia Capital, and Thrive Capital.

 

Musk’s withdrawal from political responsibilities and his full return to the business world may mark a new phase of growth for his ventures, especially in AI and neurotechnology.

Elon Musk Breaks with Trump: DOGE Fallout and His Vision for the Future Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has officially distanced himself from former President Donald Trump. In a recent CBS interview , Musk reflected on his 130-day role in the Trump 2.0 administration , particularly his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) . Musk described DOGE as a "way of life" rooted in small government values but admitted feeling like a scapegoat , saying, "If something is cut, everyone blames DOGE. It's a bit unfair."

Bitcoin Surges 7% in May: How U.S. Crypto-Friendly Policies Are Driving the Market In May 2025, Bitcoin rose nearly 7%, driven by a wave of crypto-positive developments in the United States. The growing likelihood of stablecoins entering the regulatory framework and ongoing financial uncertainty have prompted investors to turn to decentralized assets like Bitcoin as a hedge. As Bitcoin hovers around ₩150 million ($105,000), market watchers are asking: Could it break past its all-time high of ₩160 million? 🇺🇸 U.S. Signals Regulatory Embrace of Stablecoins A major catalyst behind Bitcoin’s price surge is the recent passage of a Stablecoin Regulation Bill by the U.S. Senate.
