Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture, xAI, is in the midst of discussions to secure a significant funding round that could reach up to $6 billion, aiming for a valuation of about $20 billion. This move by Musk is seen as an effort to position xAI as a formidable competitor against OpenAI, amidst a surge of interest and investment within the AI sector. The initiative has drawn attention from global investors, including family offices in Hong Kong and sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East.
