In what financial experts are calling “the least surprising merger since peanut butter met jelly,” Elon Musk announced that his AI startup xAI has acquired his social media dumpster fire X in an all-stock transaction valued at a completely made-up number of $113 billion dollars.
The deal officially combines Musk’s “company that makes sh!tty tweets” with his “company that makes sh!tty chatbots” into a new monstrosity called xAI Holdings, creating what one analyst described as “the perfect ecosystem for spreading misinformation at superhuman speeds.”
MERGER MATH MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE
The financial wizardry behind the deal is truly spectacular, valuing xAI at $80 billion despite having produced one mediocre chatbot, and X at $33 billion despite hemorrhaging advertisers faster than Musk tweets conspiracy theories. An additional $12 billion in debt was thrown in because, why the f@#k not?
“The two companies’ futures are intertwined,” said Musk, in what might be his first honest statement since 2008. “We’re blending xAI’s advanced AI capacity with X’s massive reach,” he added, forgetting to mention that X’s “massive reach” consists primarily of crypto scammers, political extremists, and people who forgot to delete their accounts.
Dr. Ima Notsurprised, professor of Stating The Obvious at Reality University, told AI Antics: “This is like announcing water is wet. X has been Grok’s personal data playground since day one. The only surprise is that it took this long to make it official.”
NOTHING CHANGES EXCEPT THE SIZE OF MUSK’S EGO
Industry insiders confirm the merger will change absolutely nothing about how either company operates, except that now Musk can claim to run a $113 billion tech empire instead of two struggling companies worth a fraction of that.
“This consolidation will pool resources across data, models, compute, distribution, and talent,” Musk proclaimed, which experts have translated as “We’re firing 30% of the workforce and making everyone else do three jobs.”
Sources close to the merger indicate the real purpose is to funnel more user data into Grok, the AI assistant that specializes in generating Dad jokes and refusing to acknowledge problems on the platform.
ACTUAL CORPORATE STRATEGY REVEALED: “LOL WHATEVER”
The new entity’s business model appears to be “collect all the data, build some AI things, wait for valuation to hit trillion, sell to someone even richer somehow.”
According to a leaked internal memo which we definitely didn’t make up, the corporate vision statement reads: “Make Silicon Valley take us seriously again by combining two companies they’ve written off into one giant company they can still write off, but with a bigger number attached.”
Financial analyst Buck Passing of Nothing Makes Sense Capital told AI Antics: “The combined value of $113 billion is approximately 42 times what either company is actually worth. Even better, 97.3% of that value is based on vibes alone.”
In related news, Twitter/X users reported the platform somehow got even worse following the announcement, with more ads, more recommended posts from accounts they hate, and a mysterious new feature that automatically converts all reasonable opinions into cryptocurrency endorsements.
When reached for comment about the merger’s impact on user experience, a spokesperson simply replied, “Have you tried switching to Threads yet?”
