The company stated on its website this Sunday that the Series B funding circular will be utilized to take xAI's first products to advertise and speed up inquiries. xAI said it has made "noteworthy strides" during the past year in creating the innovation, which will proceed in the coming months. With a record investment, Elon Musk's xAI raises $6B to accelerate AI advancements.

The latest circular includes investors from Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Fidelity Management & Research, Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, and Kingdom Holding. With a recent funding boost, Elon Musk's xAI is set to advance AI innovations.

Musk composed on the social media site X that before the venture, xAI had a valuation of $18 billion. Modern financing must offer assistance to Musk's company in competing against Microsoft and OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, in the race to create artificial intelligence.

Separately, proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis encouraged Tesla shareholders to reject Musk's $56 billion pay package. In a Saturday report, Glass Lewis singled out the deal's "excessive measure" and possibly negative effect on smaller shareholders.

The proposal from the influential proxy advisory company comes as Tesla is asking its shareholders to vote once more on its 2018 pay package after a Delaware judge nullified the payout, which was the highest compensation arrangement in corporate America, earlier this year. Tesla shareholders are set to vote on the pay package on June 13. AI developments at Elon Musk's xAI are expected to transform various industries.

Glass Lewis also singled out Musk's "slate of exceptionally time-consuming ventures irrelevant to [Tesla]" in its suggestion to vote against the pay deal. In addition to his role as Tesla's CEO, Musk is also included in xAi, SpaceX, the Boring Company, Neuralink, and X, the former Twitter. Musk declared the arrangement of xAI in July of last year. The new funding will help propel AI innovations to new heights. The company discharged its artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, in November, 2023.
