- Elon Musk's xAI company has secured $6 billion in investment. (Tech Crunch)
If you're paying attention, this may be old news. xAI raised $6 billion in May.
If you're really paying attention, though, this is new news. This is a different $6 billion, filed with the SEC last Thursday.
That's a total of $12 billion, or as ChatGPT would put it, the same as the number of Rs in "strawberry".

The laws are slightly more aggressive than the ones recently passed in Australia though slightly less aggressive than the ones that the Australian government tried and failed to push through.

The remarkable part of this is that is more than Xerox is worth.
