Elon Musk’s AI venture lifted the raise beyond its original target to expand computing infrastructure and accelerate Grok development as competition for AI compute intensifies.
The company came under scrutiny after its chatbot Grok generated illegal content, prompting warnings from X and a notice from India’s IT ministry demanding swift compliance and safeguards.
The expansion will bring xAI’s total computing capacity to nearly 2 gigawatts, supporting large scale model training as the company builds out data centre infrastructure near Memphis.
The Nvidia chief argues that AI’s rapid expansion is being driven by real-world adoption rather than speculation, with enterprises scaling inference workloads and cloud providers racing to add capacity despite export curbs and rising component costs.
