Interesting partnership , Pavel Durov's Telegram and Elon Musk's xAI are partnering on this project, strange bed fellows if you ask me.


"The encrypted messaging service Telegram has entered into a partnership with Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI.

Announcing the deal on social media, Telegram boss Pavel Durov said it would see his firm distribute the AI assistant, Grok, to Telegram's "billion+ users and integrate it into its apps".

Mr Durov said the arrangement - which is due to last a year - would see his company receive $300m (£223m) in cash and equity from xAI, plus 50% of revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via Telegram."

Okay here is my first thought, Musk will end up buying Telegram.

Yes he was arrested in France then allowed to go home to Dubai as the investigation plays out.

I can see him doing that tie it into his X and use it for a communication platform.

I have to download Telegram give it a try, not too happy with TEAMS.

Elon Musk is doing the smart thing, getting Grok exposed to more users and building it up fast.
