Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI is attempting to raise $4.3 billion through equity investments, following extensive spending from its previous $14 billion in raised funds. Despite a strong early fundraising period, only $4 billion remains on its balance sheet as of March 31. This new funding effort coincides with xAI's attempts to optimize terms for its $5 billion debt sale, ensuring more investor confidence in light of Musk’s recent public controversies. Additionally, a potential $650 million rebate from a manufacturer may assist in cost reduction as competition intensifies in the AI sector.
