Elon Musk‘s xAI Holdings is in discussions with investors to raise about $20 billion, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The funding would value the company at over $120 billion, according to the report.

Artificial intelligence startup xAI didn’t immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment outside of U.S. business hours.

The funding amount could be more than $20 billion as the exact figure had not been decided, the report added.

Musk was looking to assign “proper value” to xAI, sources told CNBC’s David Faber earlier this month. The remarks were made during a call with xAI investors, sources familiar with the matter told Faber. The Tesla CEO at that time didn’t explicitly mention any upcoming funding round, but the sources suggested xAI was preparing for a substantial capital raise in the near future.

Faber Report: Elon Musk held call with current xAI investors, sources say

The AI firm last month acquired X in an all-stock deal that valued xAI at $80 billion and the social media platform at $33 billion.

“xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent,” Musk said on X, announcing the deal. “This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach.”

Keeta 跨海送餐 澄碧邨樓價有救?!

想像一下你家在澄碧邨,可以用手機落單由無人機從長洲老麥配送一份餐到澄碧邨,這一份感動非筆墨能形容。 政府力推低空經濟,由美團旗下Keeta Drone營運的首條常規無人機配送航線開通,由科學園送餐到馬鞍山海濱長廊僅5分鐘。不久將來無人機航線急速擴展後,隔涉樓盤如澄碧邨樓價能否絕地反彈? 下載Yahoo財經APP 美股外幣即時報價 多國新聞任睇 Keeta Drone首條航線由科學園到馬鞍山海濱長廊指定降落點,現時合作餐廳有麥當勞及必勝客,提供9個飛行餐選擇,連同30元配送費,飛行套餐最低消費為86元。 家住馬鞍山,食個老麥餐要86元,當然自己落樓買抵得多。但想像一下你家在天涯海角屋苑,例如在長洲還要駁多程船的澄碧邨,可以用手機落單由無人機從長洲老麥配送一份餐到澄碧邨,這一份感動非筆墨能形容,而且屋苑生活配套多了無人機支援,都減輕不少想平買澄碧邨用家的心理壓力,從這角度看,最低消費86元又變得物有所值。 長洲有足夠餐廳及超市,支援無人機配送服務。 · AsianDream via Getty Images 按地理位置考慮,兩大知名隔涉樓盤澄碧邨,以及青山公路「孤島盤」龍珠島,距離上都應該可以安排無人機由長洲及黃金海岸送餐及送貨航線,長洲及黃金海岸商場亦有足夠餐廳及超市提供餐飲購物支援,如技術上可行,營運商又判斷有充足需求,這兩個隔涉盤確有機會獲注入無人機服務賣點。 不過即使有無人機支援,這兩個隔涉盤樓價都難以大幅反彈。兩個盤都有相當樓齡,加上一、二手盤大把選擇,偏好郊外環境的用家,都可以先考慮其他離島盤及青山公路周邊的半新盤,難以想像會單憑無人機支援此因素就入手隔涉盤。 如有無人機支援,在赤柱行山就可以在山上品嚐到赤柱特色餐廳美食。 · CHUNYIP WONG via Getty Images 無人機如順利在各區設立「偉大航道」,仍有一類物業可受惠,就係在鄉郊的地舖。早前有一單花生新聞,指有行山友落單叫外賣,外賣員看到要行山送餐將單放上網作控訴。這單新聞提醒大家,無人機有力發掘露營友及行山友龐大商機。 假如無人機航線支援多個熱門郊野公園,行山露營叫外賣將不是夢,行山友及露營友可以輕裝登山,過百元食個飛行餐不會嫌貴。有航線又有需求之下,郊野公園山腳周邊的鄉郊地舖,就會吸引茶記、Cafe或快餐店租用爭奪飛行單商機,舖租及舖頭身價有望穩步上揚吧。 Source link
