Elon Musk has stated that he does not support a merger between his companies xAI and Tesla.
The owner of X gave a public response on Monday in response to a question posed by the @BullStreetBets_ account to Tesla investors on social media X, asking whether a merger between the electric car manufacturer and the AI company would receive their support.
Musk responded with a ‘No’.
The news comes after Musk suggested last week that Tesla will hold a shareholder vote on a date yet to be announced to decide whether the car manufacturer should invest in xAI, the billionaire’s company that develops the Grok AI chatbot.
Last year, Musk asked his followers in a poll on the social media platform X whether Tesla should invest $5 billion in xAI, and the majority of voters responded “yes”.
In March 2025, Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI acquired X in an all-stock transaction that valued xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion.
On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported Musk’s company SpaceX has committed $2 billion to xAI as part of a broader $5 billion equity round led by Morgan Stanley, marking one of SpaceX’s largest-ever investments in another company.
In May, Telegram and Elon Musk’s AI firm xAI agreed to a one-year partnership that will see Grok rolled out across the messaging platform.
Musk also recently shared plans to integrate Grok into the Optimus robot and Tesla cars.
