Elon Musk Taps Ex-Morgan Stanley Banker Anthony Armstrong As Finance Chief For xAI, X - Report 

The appointment comes as xAI pushes to rival OpenAI and Google amid top-level management churn.

OpenAI has urged a U.S. federal judge to throw out a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence&nbsp;(AI) startup xAI, calling it baseless and designed to divert attention from Musk’s own company’s struggles.In a filing submitted Thursday in San Francisco federal court, OpenAI described the case as “groundless,” saying xAI’s lawsuit was “clearly designed to generate publicity to bully and threaten those employees who exercised their right to leave and work elsewhere in the AI industry.”&nbsp;The company said the case was not about trade secrets, but rather “the latest chapter of Elon Musk’s ongoing harassment of OpenAI in an effort to distract from the failures of his own competitive AI effort.”The legal filing comes a week after xAI sued OpenAI in federal court, accusing it of engaging in a “deeply troubling pattern” of hiring away former xAI employees to gain access to confidential information about its chatbot, Grok. The complaint alleged that OpenAI poached engineers, including Xuechen Li and Jimmy Fraiture, along with a senior finance executive, to obtain proprietary data.OpenAI rejected those claims, arguing that xAI is losing staff for internal reasons, including dissatisfaction with Musk’s management style and concerns over the company’s culture. The filing said, “xAI is hemorrhaging talent to other competitors, including OpenAI,” and noted that former employees have the right under California law to switch jobs freely.The company also said it has “no tolerance for any breaches of confidentiality, nor any interest in trade secrets from other companies,” and denied that any former xAI employees had disclosed or transferred confidential information to OpenAI.The case adds to a growing legal feud between Musk and OpenAI, the company he co-founded in 2015. Musk has separately sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman over its shift to a for-profit model, while OpenAI has countersued him for harassment.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was mixed, with ‘neutral’ sentiment and ‘high’ message volume for OpenAI, and ‘bearish’ sentiment and ‘low’ message volume for xAI.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk has reportedly become the first person ever to reach a net worth of $500 billion, driven by a strong comeback in Tesla’s stock and the rising value of his other ventures, including SpaceX and xAI.Musk’s fortune crossed the half-trillion mark around 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, reaching $500.1 billion by 4:15 p.m.,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2025/10/01/elon-musk-just-became-the-first-person-ever-worth-500-billion/">Forbes’ billionaires index showed</a>. That puts him roughly $150 billion ahead of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who ranks second on the list with $350.7 billion.His fortune crossed $100 billion by the end of 2020, doubled that a year later, and reached $400 billion the following year before surpassing $500 billion this week. At this rate, Forbes believes he could be the first person ever to hit a trillion dollars by 2033, when Tesla’s massive $1 trillion pay deal starts to kick in.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla shares</a> jumped nearly 4% on Wednesday, adding about $9.3 billion to Musk’s net worth. The stock has almost doubled since April, when Musk stepped back from his role in President Donald Trump’s quasi-government agency, the Department of Government Efficiency, to refocus on Tesla. His 12.4% stake as of Sept.15 in the automaker is now valued at roughly $191 billion.After a rocky start to the year, Tesla’s stock has been climbing again as investors gain confidence in Musk’s renewed involvement.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-rally-7-days-2025-peak-retail-sentiment-musk-pay-aligned-shareholders/chDcmQNR3G3">Board chair Robyn Denholm&nbsp;</a>said last month that Musk was back “front and center” at the company after several months at the White House. Soon after, he disclosed a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-shares-surge-elon-musk-purchases-stock-first-time-since-2020/chwwIvpRdUG">$1 billion Tesla stock purchase</a>, widely seen as a strong show of faith in the company’s future as it expands from electric vehicles into AI and robotics.Still, Tesla remains one of the laggards among the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants, weighed down by soft car sales and margin pressures. To retain Musk’s focus and leadership, Tesla’s board has proposed a record-setting&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-proposes-whopping-1-trillion-pay-package-for-ceo-elon-musk/chwIJkaRdpr">$1 trillion compensation plan</a> that could give him up to 12% of the company’s stock if it reaches a market capitalization of $8.5 trillion and meets other performance targets over the next decade.“It’s not about ‘compensation,’ but about me having enough influence over Tesla to ensure safety if we build millions of robots,”&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1970538474550747463">Musk said on X in September</a>. “If I can just get kicked out in the future by activist shareholder advisory firms who don’t even own Tesla shares themselves, I’m not comfortable with that future.”Beyond Tesla, Musk’s other ventures have also added to his massive fortune. SpaceX is valued at around $400 billion, contributing roughly $168 billion to his wealth. His AI startup xAI, valued at nearly $75 billion in July and reportedly eyeing a $200 billion valuation, adds about $60 billion.Tesla’s market value is now within 10% of its all-time high, with the stock up nearly 14% year-to-date.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Apart from Grok 4, Azure AI Foundry also has three additional Grok models already available, including the Grok 4 Fast Reasoning, Grok 4 Fast Non-Reasoning and Grok Code Fast 1.The price per million tokens for a global standard deployment is fixed at $5.50 for input and $27.50 for output.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:627/48;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_30_at_3_53_07_AM_png_4cd10186c3.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-30 at 3.53.07 AM.png" width="627" height="48"><figcaption>MSFT sentiment and message volume as of 3:50 a.m. ET, Sept. 30 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MSFT">Microsoft stock</a> continued to be ‘bearish’ (39/100) by early Tuesday, and the message volume was ‘low.’ The mood toward&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XAI">xAI</a> on the platform was also ‘bearish,’ with the sour sentiment accompanied by ‘low’ message volume.'<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:619/54;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_30_at_3_54_41_AM_png_10086c0a0d.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-30 at 3.54.41 AM.png" width="619" height="54"><figcaption>XAI sentiment and message volume as of 3:50 a.m. ET, Sept. 30 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Microsoft stock has gained about 23% year-to-date, thanks to the company being among the frontrunners in the AI revolution.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/dow-nasdaq-futures-trade-flat-amid-government-shutdown-threat/chDwzs9R3BG">Dow, Nasdaq Futures Trade Flat Amid Government Shutdown Threat — Traders Eye Jobs Data, Nike Earnings</a>

Amid concerns that the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is in a "bubble," characterized by excessive hype and company valuations that might not hold up, a top consultancy has put out a worrisome forecast.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bain &amp; Co. projects that by 2030, AI companies will need $2 trillion in combined annual revenue to fund the necessary computing power to meet projected demand for AI services.However, their revenue is likely to fall $800 billion short of that figure, according to Bain's annual Global Technology Report, which was released on Tuesday and&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-23/an-800-billion-revenue-shortfall-threatens-ai-future-bain-says?srnd=undefined">reported on</a> by Bloomberg."If the current scaling laws hold, AI will increasingly strain supply chains globally," David Crawford, chairman of Bain's global technology practice, was quoted as saying.The study notes a mismatch in the pace of the billions of dollars of investment by OpenAI, Google, and others in data centers and related AI infrastructure, and efforts to monetize services like OpenAI and Gemini.&nbsp;&nbsp;While increasingly becoming ubiquitous and generating millions in revenue, top AI applications are still early in terms of enterprise adoption.Companies, as well as users to some extent, are not immediately opening up their purse strings to pay for premium plans as they continue to assess material gains from using AI in their businesses and projects.If revenues don't hold up, the required investment to sustain AI compute demand would not be met.The biggest tech firms, including Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, will ramp up their combined annual spending on AI to more than $500 billion by early next decade, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.Global incremental AI computing requirements could surge to 200 gigawatts by 2030, with the U.S. accounting for half of that, according to Bain.The report adds another concern to the growing rhetoric that AI revenues would not deliver as much as the investments made into the technology.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and chair of the company's board, Bret Taylor, recently made&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/open-ai-board-chair-bret-taylor-agrees-with-sam-altman-s-ai-bubble-view-but-says-that-s-how-the-market-works/chwvDkORdx7">remarks</a> suggesting that the industry could be in a bubble, sparking concerns in the tech and investor community.Although Microsoft had an early mover’s advantage in the space through its partnership with OpenAI, rivals like Google and Meta are closing in fast. On the consumer-facing side, AI applications assisting in coding, media generation (text, image, and video), and productivity are getting more advanced at a fast clip, with their creators looking for ways to derive more AI use cases.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ for Google and ‘neutral’ for Microsoft, as of the last reading. OpenAI, a private company, fetched an ‘extremely bullish’ view.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/better-stock-rockets-as-opendoor-bull-eric-jackson-predicts-350x-gains/chDhKvgR3PI">BETR Stock Rockets As Opendoor Bull Eric Jackson Hypes ‘Shopify of Mortgages’ And Predicts 350x Gains: Retail Goes All In</a>

AI Boom Or Bubble? Bain Forecasts Huge $800B Gap Between AI Revenues And Compute Costs By 2030

Even with OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft pouring billions into data centers, a new report warns global supply chains may strain under surging AI power demand while monetization lags.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, has secured $10 billion in new funding, valuing the company at approximately $200 billion.&nbsp;CNBC&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/19/musks-xai-10-billion-at-200-billion-valuation.html">reported</a> the deal citing sources, which follows&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/25aab987-c2a1-4fca-8883-38a617269b68">discussions</a> in July that xAI&nbsp;was looking to raise fresh capital at a similar valuation. At that time, the company had already raised $10 billion, split evenly between debt and equity at a valuation of around $150 billion. xAI was waiting to launch its additional fundraising until after unveiling Grok 4, its latest AI model, a person familiar with the matter&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-11/musk-s-xai-seeks-200-billion-valuation-in-new-funding-ft-says">told</a> Bloomberg at the time.&nbsp;CNBC noted that Grok is still viewed as trailing OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude in capabilities and user base. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XAI">xAI</a>, which is not publicly listed, was in ‘neutral’ territory – at par with&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ANTHROPIC">Anthropic</a>, which also saw sentiment in the ‘neutral’ zone. Meanwhile, retail sentiment around&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/OPENAI">OpenAI</a> was in ‘extremely bullish’ territory amid ‘high’ levels of chatter.In May, Musk&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/20/elon-musk-says-he-expects-to-keep-buying-gpus-from-nvidia-and-amd.html">said</a> he intends to buy as many as one million AI chips to power xAI’s next phase of growth. According to the report, a fair share of the new capital is expected to fund data centers with Nvidia and AMD GPUs, the chips needed to train next-generation AI systems, and to recruit top talent.xAI, which also owns the social media platform X in addition to the GrokAI chatbot, has already installed about 200,000 GPUs at its Colossus site in Memphis and is planning a one-million-GPU facility nearby, Musk said at the time. He did not disclose how many chips have been ordered or when they will be fully deployed. “A few years ago, I made a very obvious prediction, which is that the limitation on AI will be chips,” Musk said.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tim-cook-says-apple-watch-could-alert-1-million-users-to-hypertension-this-year/chD3RheR3RH">Tim Cook Reportedly Says Apple Watch Could Alert 1 Million Users to Hypertension This Year</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
