<p class="has-drop-cap"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">According to reports, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is set to discuss a potential&nbsp;<a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/business/companies/elon-musk-to-discuss-5-billion-xai-investment-with-tesla-board-3122414" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$5 billion investment</a>&nbsp;in his artificial intelligence startup xAI with the Tesla board</span>. This move comes as Tesla aims to accelerate the development of its robotaxi and self-driving technologies. <br><br>The proposed investment follows a poll on X (formerly Twitter), where 68% of respondents favored the idea. xAI, launched by Musk in 2023, recently raised $6 billion in Series B funding, valuing the company at <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/27/elon-musks-xai-valued-at-24-billion-after-fresh-funding.html" target="_blank" aria-label="$24 billion (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">$24 billion</a> post-money.</p>
<h3 id="can-xai-be-a-strategy-investment-for-tesla">Can xAI be a Strategy Investment for Tesla?</h3>
<p>The proposed investment in xAI is expected to bolster Tesla’s AI infrastructure for training autonomous technology models and advance its full self-driving capabilities. <br><br>By integrating xAI’s Grok chatbot with Tesla’s software, the company aims to enhance its autonomous driving technology and potentially accelerate the development of robotaxis. This can significantly improve Tesla’s AI capabilities and infrastructure, potentially leading to faster progress in self-driving technology.</p>
<p>However, the $5 billion investment represents a substantial financial commitment for Tesla, which could affect the company’s profit margins in the short term. This comes when Tesla’s Q2 automotive gross margin and profit fell <a href="https://tokenist.com/buy-or-sell-tesla-stock-after-disappointing-q2-earnings/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">short of estimates</a>, leading the company to cut prices and offer incentives to boost sales.</p>
