🔥 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 = ❤️📈🏆
oh damn, this will get a lot of downvotes 💀.
I swear I just wanted to inform you guys.
Maybe it’s the emojiis. It’s hard to tell if they’re sarcastic or the author genuinely thinks ❤️📈🏆
The announcement is from Pavel Durov, the Telegram owner. I’ve been following his telegram channel for a while, and I can confirm that he loves emojis 🏆🏆📈

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.
It seems I’ll be switching to Signal…I guess
Signal has no cool channels, or I don’t know how to find them.
I know an app that I will never use now.
I’m glad we found another place to stuff AI into.
Anything to do with Musk is toxic.
Russian Spyware now with built in support for fascism. Fucking garbage
What the fuck is with the emojis? Was this written by a preteen?
Going by the reputation of both user bases this must be a match made in heaven. Or should I say hell?
