Elon Musk's xAI Launches $5B Debt Sale, Targeting $113B Valuation

In a bold move that underscores the escalating race in artificial intelligence, Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, has initiated a $5 billion debt sale. Managed by Morgan Stanley, this financing strategy includes a mix of term loans and senior secured notes, with commitments due by June 17. Concurrently, xAI is pursuing a $113 billion valuation through a $300 million share sale, allowing employees to liquidate shares and setting the stage for a larger equity round targeting external investors .

According to sources close to the deal, xAI’s funding will go toward the development of a next-gen AI data infrastructure including a reported supercomputer project called “Colossus” in Memphis, Tennessee. This facility is projected to be one of the largest AI-focused data centers on U.S. soil.
