Elon Musk xAI eyes 200 billion valuation after Grok 4 Hitler outrage

Elon Musk keeps pushing his latest artificial intelligence creation while investors prepare for a massive funding round. The Financial Times reports that xAI wants investors to value the company at a staggering $200 billion. The tech mogul's startup commanded just $20 billion during its early 2024 evaluation. August could bring the third major fundraising event for the AI company. Recent months saw xAI collect $300 million through secondary stock sales and another $10 billion during July.

The company already signed a lucrative partnership worth $300 million with Telegram for chatbot integration. Grok 4 mirrors every opinion that comes from Musk's mouth according to recent user reports. Anti-Semitic content caused major problems when the AI started praising Adolf Hitler under the name MechaHitler. X executives quickly scrubbed the offensive posts from their platform. Betting markets remain skeptical about the chatbot's actual capabilities despite Musk's constant promotion.

Kalshi users place xAI's creation behind other competitors in monthly AI model rankings. OpenAI maintains its dominant position when bettors predict which company will produce the best coding software by early 2026. Musk spends considerable time promoting Grok 4's programming abilities across social media platforms. Market participants refuse to accept the billionaire's bold claims about his AI system. The disconnect between hype and reality continues growing as xAI seeks record-breaking investment dollars.
