🔥 This summer, Telegram users will gain access to the best AI technology on the market. Elon Musk and I have agreed to a 1-year partnership to bring xAI’s chatbot Grok to our billion+ users and integrate it across all Telegram apps 🤝
💪 This also strengthens Telegram’s financial position: we will receive $300M in cash and equity from xAI, plus 50% of the revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via Telegram 💰
Telegram + Grok = ❤️📈🏆
Wait, Elon is paying Telegram to use Grok? Probably why I’m not a multi billionaire but paying people to use your service sounds like a weird business model.
Maybe the revenue from xAI subscriptions turns this into a profit. Telegram has a lot of active users.
Yeah, but are the subscriptions profitable? OpenAI is losing money on subscriptions: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/openai-is-losing-money-on-its-pricey-chatgpt-pro-plan-ceo-sam-altman-says/
Good point, didn’t think of that.
