Elon Musk on Friday evening announced he has sold his social media company, X, to xAI, his artificial intelligence company, in a deal that values X at $33 billion, much less than he paid for it in 2022 but a significant rebound from its moribund valuation just a few months ago.

Elon Musk has officially announced the sale of X in an "all-stock transaction" — but not to a competitor. Instead, the website formally known as Twitter has been acquired by Musk’s very own AI venture, xAI.
