Musk was looking to assign "proper value" to xAI, sources told CNBC's David Faber earlier this month. The remarks were made during a call with xAI investors, sources familiar with the matter told Faber. The Tesla CEO at that time didn't explicitly mention any upcoming funding round, but the sources suggested xAI was preparing for a substantial capital raise in the near future.
The funding amount could be more than $20 billion as the exact figure had not been decided, the Bloomberg report added.
Artificial intelligence startup xAI didn't immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment outside of U.S. business hours.

"This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI's advanced AI capability and expertise with X's massive reach."
