X.AI is Elon Musk’s brand-new AI startup company. So, what is X.AI?
X.AI is set to be a direct challenger to OpenAI, the very company that Musk actually co-founded in 2015. Despite his departure five years ago, he remained pretty vocal about artificial intelligence. Interestingly, he has actually become one of OpenAI’s biggest critics, often sharing his opinions on Twitter.
Earlier this year, he even co-sponsored an open letter to call for a six-month break on the development of AI technology.

With the recent emergence of X.AI, the rumors about Musk starting his own AI company have finally been confirmed. This was a long-anticipated move, following reports of Musk purchasing thousands of GPUs – the essential hardware for powering upcoming AI applications.
X.AI will join Musk’s already impressive portfolio of companies, including his recent purchase, Twitter, and his renowned electric car manufacturing company, Tesla.
According to reports, Musk’s AI firm was incorporated a month back. He is appointed as the sole director and Jared Birchall as the listed secretary.
Musk has wasted no time creating his new team of AI experts. Some recent joiners include previous researchers and scientists from the competitor company, DeepMind.
Despite very little being shared about Musk’s latest business move, the Financial Times suggests that X.AI plans to use Twitter data to build and train their upcoming large language model.
Where is X AI company headquarters?
There are very few details released about Elon Musk’s new AI company. Although, we do know that X.AI was incorporated in Nevada on March 9th. Despite being formed in Nevada the company’s headquarters could be based anywhere.
Final Thoughts
Rumors that Elon Musk was creating his own AI startup have been circulating for some time now – and the news is finally out! X.AI is still in its very early days so we are definitely going to have to wait a while to see any new developments from the firm.
